Cannot access resource defined in app.xaml
- by DerKlaus
I am using Visual Studio 2010 RC1.
I define a resource "Brush2" in app.xaml_:
<Application x:Class="VideoThumbnails.App"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml">
<Application.Resources>
<RadialGradientBrush x:Key="Brush2" RadiusX="1" RadiusY="1" GradientOrigin="0.3,0.3">
<GradientStop Color="White" Offset="0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#ffc0c0" Offset="1"/>
</RadialGradientBrush>
</Application.Resources>
</Application>
In my Mainwindow I am trying to use that resource:
...
<Border Margin="4,2" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="2" CornerRadius="4"
ToolTip="{Binding Path=FullPath}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
Background="{StaticResource Brush2}">
...
No matter what I do it always raises an exception at runtime (Resource not found). I changed
build action without success.
How can I use resources defined in app.xaml?
