Question

In my project (ABC), I have MainWindow.xaml where I have defined a toolbar for it and this toolbar is defined in
project under Resource/Views/ApplicationToolbar.xmal as following:

I have referenced it in my MainWindow.xaml as xmlns:local="clr-namespace:ABC" and as soon as I run it I get an
error indicating View123 not found.

More information: (EDIT)

<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
                    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
                    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:ABC">

    <StackPanel x:Key="View1">
        <Button Margin="3" Content="Test1"></Button>
        <Button Margin="3" Content="Test2"></Button>
    </StackPanel>

</ResourceDictionary>

Now in MainWindow.xmal have:

<Window x:Class="ABC.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:ABC"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid Margin="10">
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
            <RowDefinition Height="10"/>
            <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
            <RowDefinition Height="10"/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>

        <!-- FOLLOWING LINE CAUSING ERROR-->
        <ContentControl Name="Toolbar" Content="{StaticResource View1 }"></ContentControl>

    </Grid>
</Window>

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Thanks to all. OK, I tried what was suggested here and I appreciate Mike and it was close to the solution. What worked for me was adding following tag in App.xaml:

<Application.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary Source="Resources/views/ApplicationToolbar.xaml"/>
</Application.Resources>

Thanks.
