How to read WPF ResourceDictionaries from WinForms
When you add resources dictionaries to an WPF project the build action is automatically set to Page. This means that the compiler generates a BAML stream and adds it to the resources of the assembly.
Since WPF has the built-in functionality to read a BAML stream but its API is not public, we have to write a little helper class that access the internal method by using reflection.
public static class BamlReader
{
public static object Load(Stream stream)
{
ParserContext pc = new ParserContext();
MethodInfo loadBamlMethod = typeof(XamlReader).GetMethod("LoadBaml",
BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static)
return loadBamlMethod.Invoke(null, new object[] { stream, pc, null, false });
}
}
StreamResourceInfo sri = System.Windows.Application.GetResourceStream(
new Uri("/MyAssemblyName;component/MyResourceDict.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
ResourceDictionary resources = (ResourceDictionary)BamlReader.Load(sri.Stream);

| That's a clear use of the BMALView. And for Goo, it's almost clear no need for a SbS Tutorial; all u have to do is to read about the BAMLView (google it or go to mocrosoft website)
