With Windows Phone 7, I'm attempting to
dynamically add controls to and object in codebehind, and apply a StaticResource to the new control.
Xaml file sample:
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
<ControlTemplate x:Key="PushpinControlTemplateBlue" TargetType="my2:Pushpin">
...
</ControlTemplate>
</phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
Codebehind sample:
>Pushpin myPush = new Pushpin();
>myPush.Location = new GeoCoordinate(52.569593, -0.9261151403188705);
>myPush.Content = "";
>myPush.Template = (ControlTemplate)Application.Current.Resources["PushpinControlTemplateBlue"];
>mapMain.Children.Add(myPush);
When I debug, and look at "Application.Current.Resources", there are no items in the collection, so the item is added to the controls list, but doesn't show up because it has no content.
Is there something simple I'm doing wrong? How do I correctly access the resource?
