Consider the case when I create a library MyCustomControlsProjectcontaining a set of custom controls. Instead of putting the XAML code for all of these controls in a very large generic.xaml, I want to separate each control in my own XAML file and then reference that file from generic.xaml
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="<url_syntax_file_1>" />
<ResourceDictionary Source="<url_syntax_file_2>" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
The folder structure in the solution explorer (as well as in the file system) is as follows:
- MyCustomControlsProject (project / folder)
- Themes (folder)
- Generic.xaml (file)
- ControlTemplates (folder)
- MyControl1.xaml (file)
- MyControl2.xaml (file)
In the past, I have done this in Silverlight and Silverlight for Win Phone using this syntax:
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="/MyCustomControlsProject;Component/Themes/ControlTemplates/MyControl1.xaml"/>
<ResourceDictionary Source="/MyCustomControlsProject;Component/Themes/ControlTemplates/MyControl2.xaml"/>
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
Windows Phone 8.1 :
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="ms-appx:///Themes/ControlTemplates/MyControl1.xaml" />
<ResourceDictionary Source="ms-appx:///Themes/ControlTemplates/MyControl2.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
Win 10 (UWP). :
An exception of type 'Windows.UI.Xaml.Markup.XamlParseException' occurred in MyApplication.exe but was not handled in user code
WinRT information: Failed to assign to property 'Windows.UI.Xaml.ResourceDictionary.Source' because the type 'Windows.Foundation.String' cannot be assigned to the type 'Windows.Foundation.Uri'.
