Hi to all!

Here is my problem:

Initially, I only had a project (MainProject) with a global ResourceDictionary (StyleResources), classes, etc. The project was growing, and I decided to separate the resources into new project (SecondaryProject).

First question: What project type should be SecondaryProject if it only contains ResourcesDictionaries? This project must have MainWindow.xaml, App.xaml... files?

Continuing with the explanation...
In one of the initial styles (TabItemStyle) I used a converter that it was define in a namespace "Converter" with a class named TabSizeConverter and using next code I get it to work. This was the code including at inicial StyleResources file:

- xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Converters"
- <local:tabsizeconverter x:key="tabSizeConverter" />

Second question:Now, with my new configuration, how to get it working again? I am having an error because It can´t find TabSizeConverter class and it can´t crete this type.

Thanks and regards:

Hi Torin86,
If i understood your question correctly, you can try below mentioned.

Step 1: Right click on the current solution and Select Add New Project -> WPF Application. (This can have the Main.xaml and resource files).
Step 2: In the Newly created project, Right click then select "Properties". Select Application and then change the Output type to "Class Library".
Step 3. Build the newly created project which will create .dll file.
Step 4. In the Main Project click on Reference and add this new project .dll file as project reference.
Step 5. In the Main project .xaml file use the pack assmebly to refer the styles and converter present in the new project.

XML

<ResourceDictionary>
            <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
                <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/NewprojectName;component/StyleXamlfileName.xaml"/>
            </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary>

Step 6. Build and check it should work fine.

Hope I help you.

Thanks
Sriram.B
