Question

in my application, i have a resource dictionary defined as a separate file. Now i want to access this dictionary from a c#-file (no code-behind file!)

What would be the best(fastest, cleanest) way to do this?

• Create a ResourceDictionary in code and merge it with the existing one?

• Add the ResourceDictionary to the application’s resources and access
  them with Application.Current.Resources?

• Some other way??

Greets,

Answer 1

You can load resource dictionaries using App.LoadComponent(), e.g.:

var d = (ResourceDictionary)App.LoadComponent(new Uri("Dictionary1.xaml",UriKind.Relative));

Not really sure if it would be the fastest, but it is probably one of the cleaner ways.
