WPF Restrict ResourceDictionary to assembly












0














I am using C# 4.7.2 and WPF 4.5



I want register resources that defined in a specific assembly to be registered explicitly in the defining assembly. The application is exensible and I'm looking for a way to avoid name duplicates and the erros thrown as a result to them.



Is it possible to restricht the scope for resources? Does anybody know a way, to use names for dictionaries?



I'v tried a derivation from ResourceDictionary. But this derivation isn't accepted as parameter to



System.Windows.Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add

          When you merge a resource you do so with a scope.
          Application.current.resources is where stuff you merge in app.xaml goes.
          Below that... you have control scope.
          A project / dll which you reference loads into the application's scope ( simplifying ). So you would need each view or whatever in that dll to load an instance of your resource dictionary. Which could of course have significant overhead.



          A simple work round would be to have a prefix on the x:Key of your resources which is unique to each assembly.

          • Thanks Andy. But I'm afraid the scope is ALWAYS the executing assembly. In my case, the resources are located in a satellite library, which is unkown to the executing Assembly. The scope of the satellite resources is the executing assembly - proven. I am aware of qualified names, but I am trying different approaches, as well.
