Question

I have created a text box using xaml. I have a file named styles.xaml which has all the properties of the text box. Now I want to change the properties (height, widht etc.) dynamically through styles.xaml.

1. Add a resource dictionary reference to your app.xaml

   <Application.Resource>
   
      <ResourceDictionary Source="styles.xaml"/> 
   
   </Application.Resources>
   

2. Use this.Resources in your code-behind to access your style resource.

   Style txtStyle = App.Current.Resources["TextBoxStyle"] as Style;
   

3. Set the style on your textbox

   testTxtBox.Style=txtStyle
