#53 – Accessing Application-Scoped Resources from Code
September 3, 2010 Leave a comment
You can access application-scoped resources from code by using the Application.Resources property. The property points to a ResourceDictionary that contains a collection of DictionaryEntry objects.
For resources defined in XAML, the key of each entry is a string and the value is an object of the associated resource type.
For example, for the SolidColorBrush resource shown below:
<Application.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="greenBrush" Color="Green"/>
</Application.Resources>
The dictionary entry’s Key is the string “greenBrush” and the Value is a SolidColorBrush object with the Color property set to green.
SolidColorBrush br = (SolidColorBrush)Application.Current.Resources["greenBrush"];
