Something cool that I didn’t know “just worked” – linked resource dictionaries in Loose XAML!
In this sample:
- dictionary.xaml contains a ResourceDictionary
- page.xaml just links to dictionary.xaml.
See how it looks when you navigate to page.xaml. (And don’t forget to click on the fishies!)
Page.xaml:
<Page
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<Page.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary Source="dictionary.xaml"/>
</Page.Resources>
<Button Style="{StaticResource BigFish}">
<Button Style="{StaticResource SmallFish}"/>
</Button>
</Page>
BTW, you might have seen these styles before… They come from the WPF Feature Montage originally given by Fil Fortes at Mix06 & updated by Rob Relyea for TechEd
Hello,
Thanks for the tip. I’ve just one remark: it could be more complete if you tell how to do the same thing while the xaml is compiled into a separate dll.
