POSharedResourceDictionary: edit resource in Blend
text
Body
copied!<p>To optimize my application, I create a SharedResourceDictionary. With this, I save about 250 mb of memory at run-time, so it works well.</p> <p>My problem is in design-time, in Blend 4, I have no more access to my resource. To modify a template (witch is in my resource file), I usually right click on my control and I choose Edit Template --> Edit Current, like in this image:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/RHdKW.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>I need to modify my template that way, it's 100x faster then to go in my resource file and find the good one... I have A LOT of resources...</p> <p>My SharedResourceDictionary is implemented like this (found on the web):</p> <pre><code>public class SharedResourceDictionary : ResourceDictionary { /// <summary> /// Internal cache of loaded dictionaries /// </summary> public static Dictionary<Uri, ResourceDictionary> _sharedDictionaries = new Dictionary<Uri, ResourceDictionary>(); /// <summary> /// Local member of the source uri /// </summary> private Uri _sourceUri; /// <summary> /// Gets or sets the uniform resource identifier (URI) to load resources from. /// </summary> public new Uri Source { get { if (IsInDesignMode) return base.Source; return _sourceUri; } set { _sourceUri = value; if (!_sharedDictionaries.ContainsKey(value)) { // If the dictionary is not yet loaded, load it by setting // the source of the base class base.Source = value; // add it to the cache _sharedDictionaries.Add(value, this); } else { // If the dictionary is already loaded, get it from the cache MergedDictionaries.Add(_sharedDictionaries[value]); } } } /// <summary> /// Check if we are in Blend to prevent error /// </summary> public bool IsInDesignMode { get { return (bool) DependencyPropertyDescriptor.FromProperty(DesignerProperties.IsInDesignModeProperty, typeof(DependencyObject)).Metadata.DefaultValue; } } } </code></pre> <p>Someone have an idea if there is a solution for this? I really want to keep this shared dictionary due to the memory improvement, but I also want to modify my resource easily...</p> <p>Any clue will be appreciated. Thank you.</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Doing this (SharedResourceDictionary), I also have an issue with static resource:</p> <pre><code>Provide value on 'System.Windows.Markup.StaticResourceHolder' threw an exception. </code></pre> <p>And when I change them to dynamic resource it works, or if I change the SharedResourceDictionary by a simple ResourceDictionary it also works. The project can compile but I cannot edit the resource without a modification as I said.</p>
