Question

I have a ComponentResourceKey defined in my resource dictionary like this:

<Style x:Key='{ComponentResourceKey TypeInTargetAssembly={x:Type local:Resources}, ResourceId=BaseControlStyle}' TargetType='{x:Type FrameworkElement}'>     <Setter Property='Margin' Value='4,4,0,0' /> </Style> 

I have a static class that I use as a shortcut to provide the resource keys liek this:

public class Resources {     public static ComponentResourceKey BaseControlStyleKey     {         get         {             return new ComponentResourceKey(typeof(Resources), 'BaseControlStyle');         }     } } 

Now typically when I use this style I do something like this:

<TextBlock Style='{DynamicResource {x:Static local:Resources.BaseControlStyleKey}}'/> 

However, I have a scenario where I need to set a style in code like this:

myTextBox.Style = Resources.BaseControlStyleKey // Does not work. 

Any ideas how I extract the style from the ComponentResourceKey?

Answer 1

I figured it out.

myTextBox.Style =          Application.Current.TryFindResource(Resources.BaseControlStyleKey)         as Style;
