I have a WPF user control defined in an application assembly. I am trying to customize a style-based user control to another (skin or theme). I do not want the theme / skin assembly to contain a resource dictionary with all styles to reference the application assembly. Is there any way to do this? For instance.
WPFApplication Collection
MyUserControl.xaml <- WPF user management
Thematic assembly
MyStyles.xaml <- WPF Resource Dictionary
I guess I can use
<Style x:Key="MyStyle">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
</Style>
in resourcecedictionary MyStyles.xaml and use:
<l:MyUserControl Name="control" Style="{StaticResource MyStyle}" />
in any window that uses MyUserControl.xaml in the WPFApplication assembly
However, I would prefer to target the user control in MyStyles.xaml resourcedictionary:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type l:MyUserControl}" x:Key="MyStyle">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Red" />
</Style>
Is it possible?
