Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2007 10:25:42 +0930 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: listserver@ozSilverlight.com Hi Bec, I haven't done anything in Silverlight yet but in WPF you can use a Merged ResourceDictionary. External file eg: <ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"; xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml";> <Style x:Key="GroupListBoxStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ListBox}"> <Setter Property="Background" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.WindowBrushKey}}"/> <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/> </Style> </ResourceDictionary> Then at the top of your xaml include external resource files. Eg: <Window.Resources> <ResourceDictionary> <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <ResourceDictionary Source="/Namespace;component/Windows/Skin/ListBox.xaml"/> </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <!-- Other local styles here --> </ResourceDictionary> </Window.Resources> I would think it would be the same in Silverlight so I HTH.

Thanks for the info! Yes the downloader object is cool but what I was actually referring to was resources such as Storyboards... I just don't want to clutter my xaml file with lots storyboards in there... so I thought there may be a way to link from this xaml file to another where the storyboards are kept. That is, 1 xaml file with all content, and another with all storyboards. Just something I find helps when looking back at the code some day. ;-) _____ Subject: RE: [OzSilverlight] External Resource files?

As mentioned above you use the silverlight downloader object and special properties Here's the link to the msdn article http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232904.aspx Good luck, and I hope you enjoy using silverlight as much as I am!

Hi all! Is it possible in Silverlight 1.0 to put all my "resources" in an external file and link to them from a XAML file? So if I don't want to put all these <Canvas.Resources> blocks in my main xaml file, can I put these somewhere else and link to them somehow? Thanks!
