Mergeddictionaries (learning)

When creating a resource, we usually right-click the root directory of this solution to create a new resource file, which is just a collection of any typed objects, not elements.

For example:

 1   <  Lineargradientbrush  Endpoint  = "1, 0"  X: Key  = "Brush1"  >  2   <  Gradientstop  Color  = "Yellow"  Offset = "0"   />  3   <  Gradientstop  Color  = "Orange"  Offset  = ". 7"   />  4   <  Gradientstop  Color  = "Darkred"  Offset  = "1"  />  5   </  Lineargradientbrush  >

When other XAML files (mainwindow. XAML or a view) need to use it

 
<EllipseFill="{Staticresource brush1}" />
 

However, I remember the resource at the <application. Resources> level or merge level.

Add the following open app. XAML. Inside the <application. Resources> tag

 1  <  Resourcedictionary  >  2   <  Resourcedictionary. mergeddictionaries  >  3   <  Resourcedictionary  Source  = "Brushes. XAML"   />  4   </  Resourcedictionary. mergeddictionaries >  5   </  Resourcedictionary  >

Note:

1. Merge's source should be clearly written path:

    1   <  Resourcedictionary  >  2   <  Resourcedictionary. mergeddictionaries  > 3   <  Resourcedictionary  Source  = "Brushes. XAML"   />  4   </  Resourcedictionary. mergeddictionaries  >  5   </  Resourcedictionary  >

   If the resource is in the resources folder, merging that into app. XAML wocould look like as follows:

    
   <ResourcedictionarySource= "Resources/brushes. XAML" />
    

    

3. For other referenced assemblies. to base on Pack URI syntax. For example:

   <ResourcedictionarySource= "/Myclasslibrary; component/resources/brushes. XAML" />

    

4. For duplicat resources, sort the rules. There is the first key to write the internal key, then the brush defined in the last resource, and then the second

    <  Resourcedictionary >  <  Solidcolorbrush  Color  = "Blue"  X: Key  = "Brush1"   />  <  Resourcedictionary. mergeddictionaries  >  <  Resourcedictionary  Source  = "Resources/brushes2.xaml"   /> <  Resourcedictionary  Source  = "Resources/brushes. XAML"   />  </  Resourcedictionary. mergeddictionaries  >  </  Resourcedictionary  >
