    copied!<p>I'm aware of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12534611/setting-a-style-to-a-static-resource-for-a-root-control-element">this</a>, which doesn't apply to my case, and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2371100/use-staticresource-in-xaml-root-element">this</a>, which I'm not sure whether it can be adapted.</p> <p>I'm working on a WPF control library, and I don't have an App.xaml file. I use a file called <strong>Styles.xml</strong> to store common brushes and other resources. In the XAML file of my user control I import the resources and then I try to use brush <strong>sBrush</strong> as a background.</p> <p>This works except that at the root level:</p> <pre><code>&lt;UserControl x:Class="CMControls.TitledWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300" Background="{StaticResource ResourceKey=sBrush}"&gt; &lt;!--EXCEPTION!--&gt; &lt;UserControl.Resources&gt; &lt;ResourceDictionary&gt; &lt;ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries&gt; &lt;ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/CMControls;component/Styles.xaml"/&gt; &lt;/ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries&gt; &lt;/ResourceDictionary&gt; &lt;/UserControl.Resources&gt; &lt;Canvas Background="{StaticResource ResourceKey=sBrush}" ... &lt;!--Ok.--&gt; ... </code></pre> <p>I presume this happens because when the root element is instantiated its children are not, including <strong>UserControl.Resources</strong>. Is there any workaround? <strong>Note that in the designer everything works fine, no matter where I make the reference</strong>.</p>
