copied!<p>Add a <code>ResourceDictionary</code> (xaml) file to your project (assuming it's a class library - WPF custom control library), merge it on top of the <code>Generic.xaml</code>, then you will be able to refer to it and your <code>StaticResource</code> will work.</p> <p>You can also include the resource in the Generic.xaml (or whatever xaml file it is) file itself.</p> <p>Here is how your current dictionary should look like:</p> <pre><code><ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfCustomControlLibrary1"> <sys:String x:Key="myString">sdfasdf</sys:String> <Style TargetType="{x:Type local:CustomControl1}"> <Setter Property="Text" Value="{StaticResource myString}"/> <Setter Property="Template"> <Setter.Value> <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type local:CustomControl1}"> <Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"> <TextBlock Text="{TemplateBinding Text}"/> </Border> </ControlTemplate> </Setter.Value> </Setter> </Style> </ResourceDictionary> </code></pre> <p>I initialized a design time instance of the above control in VS2010 and it showed the text (<code>Text</code> is a string DP property I manually added to the <code>CustomControl1</code>), which means it reads the <code>myString</code> resource.</p> <p>You can find some more specific info <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/709087/load-a-resourcedictionary-from-an-assembly" title="Load a ResourceDictionary from an assembly">here</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/706700/load-wpf-styles-or-other-static-resources-from-an-external-file-or-assembly" title="Load WPF styles or other Static Resources from an external file or assembly">here</a>.</p>
