I've integrated my WPF project into a mixed solution. This solution has 3 projects written in WinForms (.cs), 1 writtenin WinForms (.vb) and the mine one written in WPF (using MahApps).
The Owner of my project/windows must be the one of the three written in WinForm.

I've made a call like this:

using WPFSolution;

using System.Windows.Forms.Integration;



private void buttonOpenWPFUi_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        var pm = new ProductsMenu();

        ElementHost.EnableModelessKeyboardInterop(pm);

        pm.Show();

    }

ProductsMenu is my starting point on in the App.xaml

But when I reach the InitializeComponents() of the ProductsMenu.xaml.cs the System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException were thrown

The error is: IOException: Cannot locate resource 'resources/icons.xaml'.

My App.xaml file:

<Application x:Class="WPFSolution.App"

         xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

         xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

         StartupUri="ProductsMenu.xaml" ShutdownMode="OnMainWindowClose">

<Application.Resources>

    <ResourceDictionary>

        <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>

            <!-- MahApps.Metro resource dictionaries. Make sure that all file names are Case Sensitive! -->

        <BitmapImage x:Key="Nodo4" UriSource="Resources/img/TileImages/nodi/nodo4.jpg"></BitmapImage>-->





    </ResourceDictionary>

</Application.Resources>

I've tried to set the Icons.xaml/Build Action as Resource and also as Page.
I'm missing something?

Got it (or a workaround at least).

1. I've dereferenced the WPFSolution Project.


2. Compiled the WPF solution
   as .dll (I've copied all the merged dictionaries to every
   window.xaml, removed the app.xaml file and change the application
   type to class library)


3. Copied the WPFSolution.dll in the bin/release
   - bin/debug of the main project


4. Referenced the .dll

Everything worked like a charm

try this syntax :

<ResourceDictionary Source="/WPFSolution;component/Resources/Icons.xaml" />

and also, "Page" is the right build option in this case
