  1. POHow to set custom property as XAML value?
    text
    copied!<p>I have this library with custom <em>Color</em> properties. I wanna be able to use these properties in XAML like this:</p> <pre><code> &lt;Style TargetType="{x:Type eg:MyWindow}"&gt; &lt;Setter Property="Background"&gt; &lt;Setter.Value&gt; &lt;SolidColorBrush Color="CustomClass.CustomColorProperty"/&gt; &lt;/Setter.Value&gt; &lt;/Setter&gt; &lt;/Style&gt; </code></pre> <p>The namespace that contains <em>CustomClass</em> is already referenced. How should I go about this? Thanks.</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>I just noticed that <em>CustomClass</em> is static, so I can't create an instance of it in XAML. Also, when I type <em>eg:</em>, <em>CustomClass</em> doesn't show up in intellisense. I can't get any of your solutions to work, even though they should, if I had an instance class. Is there a workaround for this situation?</p> <p>EDIT 2:</p> <p>This is the actual class and namespace:</p> <pre><code>namespace Assergs.Windows { public static class OfficeColors { public class Background { public static Color OfficeColor1 = (Color)ColorConverter.ConvertFromString("#e4e6e8"); public static Color OfficeColor2 = (Color)ColorConverter.ConvertFromString("#dce0ed"); public static Color OfficeColor3 = (Color)ColorConverter.ConvertFromString("#a8c3e0"); } } } </code></pre> <p>And this is the XAML namespace:</p> <pre><code>xmlns:aw="clr-namespace:Assergs.Windows;assembly=Assergs.Windows" </code></pre> <p>And if I use this line, as suggested by Zenuka:</p> <pre><code>&lt;SolidColorBrush Color="{x:Static aw:OfficeColors.Background.OfficeColor1}"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>It throws this error at compile time:</p> <pre><code>Cannot find the type 'OfficeColors.Background'. Note that type names are case sensitive. </code></pre>
