WPF-Merged Resource Dictionaries

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) resources support a merged resource dictionary feature. This feature provides a way to define the resources portion of a WPF application outside of the compiled XAML application. Resources can then be shared across applications and are also more conveniently isolated for localization.


Example:

<Page.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Resource\Resource1.xaml"></ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Resource\Resource2.xaml"></ResourceDictionary>
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Page.Resources>
