In what sense are XAML resources static?

By XAML resources I mean things declared in a resource block and accessed with the {StaticResource resource-name} syntax.

Do page resources behave as though they are static members on a page class? Or, were I to create multiple instances of a page class, would I get multiple instances of its resources?

Nomenclature implies that resources will be handled like static members, which implies that multiple instances of a page would share a common set of resources.

Which behaviour will manifest?

    It has nothing in common with static types in c#.

    Using StaticResource will evaluate the resource once, the first time that access is made i.e. Not at compile time.

    A DynamicResource will be evaluated every time the resource is required.

    Also note that the compiler doesn’t evaluate resources at all, dynamic or static.
