    <p>I am building a WPF app with several assemblies, and I want to share a resource dictionary among them. That requires a <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=XWu70Oqz6RIC&amp;pg=PA344&amp;lpg=PA344&amp;dq=wpf+&quot;sharing+resources+between+assemblies&quot;&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=FMQU9g3whX&amp;sig=rhK8YR-OUddEKmSBMqZXv45gxNc&amp;hl=en&amp;ei=JlqpSqf5NNKBtge6jqXYBw&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=book_result&amp;ct=result&amp;resnum=1#v=onepage&amp;q=wpf%20%22sharing%20resources%20between%20assemblies%22&amp;f=false" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ComponentResourceKey</a>. I have built a small demo to test out the CRK, and I can't seem to get it working.</p> <p>My demo has two projects, a WPF project called <em>Demo</em>, and a DLL called <em>Common</em>. The <em>Common</em> project has a folder called <em>Themes</em>. It contains my resource dictionary, <em>generic.xaml</em>. Here is the text of the Resource dictionary:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Common" &gt; &lt;SolidColorBrush x:Key="{ComponentResourceKey TypeInTargetAssembly={x:Type local:SharedResources}, ResourceId=RedSolidBrush}" Color="Red"/&gt; &lt;/ResourceDictionary&gt; </code></pre> <p><em>Common</em> also contains a class called <em>SharedResources.cs</em>. It contains a property for referencing the Brush resource in the dictionary:</p> <pre><code>public static ComponentResourceKey RedSolidBrush { get { return new ComponentResourceKey(typeof (SharedResources), "RedSolidBrush"); } } </code></pre> <p>Finally, the main window in my <em>Demo</em> project references the brush resource to fill a rectangle:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Window x:Class="ComponentResourceKeyDemo.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:res="clr-namespace:Common;assembly=Common" Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300"&gt; &lt;Grid&gt; &lt;Rectangle Height="100" Width="100" Stroke="Black" Fill="{DynamicResource {ComponentResourceKey TypeInTargetAssembly={x:Type res:SharedResources}, ResourceId=RedSolidBrush}}" /&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; &lt;/Window&gt; </code></pre> <p>I can't find the reason it's not working. It compiles fine in VS 2008 and Blend, but the resource isn't invoked. The only clue I have is an error message in Blend: </p> <pre><code>The Resource "{ComponentResourceKey ResourceId=RedSolidBrush, TypeInTargetAssembly={x:Type res:SharedResources}}" could not be resolved. </code></pre> <p>Any idea why this isn't working? Thanks for your help. </p>

    1. COI used the following example from "Pro WPF in C# 2008"in building my demo: http://books.google.com/books?id=XWu70Oqz6RIC&pg=PA344&lpg=PA344&dq=wpf+"sharing+resources+between+assemblies"&source=bl&ots=FMQU9g3whX&sig=rhK8YR-OUddEKmSBMqZXv45gxNc&hl=en&ei=JlqpSqf5NNKBtge6jqXYBw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1#v=onepage&q=wpf%20%22sharing%20resources%20between%20assemblies%22&f=false

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
