How to associate a resource string with Xaml in Silverlight

Question

How do you bind a resource string to Xaml in Silverlight?

Answer 1

You need to add this link in App.xaml

xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib" 

Then you need to add a line to the section <Application.Resources>

<sys:String x:Key="ResourceString">Resource String</clr:String>

Then all you have to do is refer to * {StaticResource ResourceString} for example:

<TextBlock Text="{StaticResource ResourceString}"></TextBlock>

Answer 2

Some time ago, when I was asked and answered, I just wanted to add an additional answer, since the first one is not entirely correct. I think he asks for resources, aka. text written in .resx files. It makes no sense to add individual rows to the StaticResources collection in the application.
