WPF Dynamically load resource

In Previous post , we discussed how to load resource that is embedded in the wpf application. see How to use embedded Resource in WPF.

 

Here we are going to discuss another approach, where you can load a WPF resource at runtime.

 

Suppose that you have a resource that you know its pack URI, and you want to set the loaded resource to one control, here is what you can do .

 

 

 

          Uri uri = new Uri("/TRecsSupportModule;component/Resource/Style/MergedStyles.xaml", UriKind.Relative);

          ResourceDictionary resource = new ResourceDictionary();
          resource.Source = uri;
          this.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Clear();
          this.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(resource);

 

 

When you do this, you might set the xaml file /TRecsSupportModule;component/Resource/Style/MergedStyles.xaml (Build Action: Page), as compared agains the resource one, which has the (BuildAction: Resource).
