How to reference a property from a static member in XAML?

Question

Suppose I have two classes:

public class LocalResources { public Color ForegroundColor { get; set; } } public static class OrganisationModule { public static LocalResources Resources = new LocalResources { ForegroundColor = Color.FromRgb(32, 32, 32) }; } 

In XAML code, why can't I do this (assuming all xml namespaces exist)?

 <TextBlock Foreground="{x:Static Modules:OrganisationModule.Resources.ForegroundColor}" /> 

When compiling, I get an error: Cannot find the type 'OrganisationModule.ColorManager'. Note that type names are case sensitive. Cannot find the type 'OrganisationModule.ColorManager'. Note that type names are case sensitive.

There are two errors here. First, in the OrganizationModule class, you need to provide resources as a property. This is currently not a property, you need to write Get and / or Set

Then for linking we need the expression

 Foreground="{Binding Path=ForegroundColor,Source={x:Static Modules:OrganisationModule.Resources}}" />
