See more:

I am merging all my Class Library Projects (ex: LibA.dll, LibB.dll, Sri.Theme.dll) into a single DLL (TestFrame.dll) using ILRepack. I am able to merge all the C# code and also able to access c# logic where ever I use consolidated DLL (TestFrame.dll). But the problem is I have one class library (Sri.Theme.dll) which has WPF Resource-dictionaries, I am not able to call these Resource-dictionaries in my WPF project App.xaml. I have checked TestFrame.dll in ILSpy, these Resource Dictionaries are merged into it. It is giving below error message:

Cannot locate resource 'styles/bootstrap.xaml'.

Sri.Theme project structure will be like this:

Styles
Themes

What I have tried:

I am trying like this in App.xaml in WpfApp1

Try1: <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/TestFrame;component/Styles/Bootstrap.xaml"/>

Try2: <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/Sri.Theme;component/Styles/Bootstrap.xaml"/>

Try3: <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/TestFrame;component/Sri.Theme/Styles/Bootstrap.xaml"/>

Can anyone please help me with this. Excuse for my bad language

Maybe ask yourself why you're "merging" in the first place; particularly for those cases where it doesn't work, and you have a choice.

I don't need to use pack. I do it this way:

C#

<ResourceDictionary>
    <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        <MyAssemblyName;component/ResourceDicts/MyResourceDictionary.xaml" />
    </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
