Hi..
when am trying to implement Resources tag for applying style to a Textbox.. am getting the following error: 'The resource "MyTextBoxStyle" could not be resolved'. The Xaml code for my form is as follows
<Window.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}" x:Key="MyTextBoxStyle">
<Setter Property="Effect">
<Setter.Value>
<CornerRadius BottomLeft="5"
BottomRight="5"
TopLeft="5"
TopRight="5"></CornerRadius>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
<Setter Property="Effect">
<Setter.Value>
<Border BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="2"></Border>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Window.Resources>

<Grid>
<TextBox x:Name="txtValues" Height="25" Width="80" BorderThickness="1" Style="{StaticResource MyTextBoxStyle}">
<Grid>

The xaml you provide will complain about alot but not about a resource that cannot be resolved.

1) You're setting Effect twice in your style.
2) you're setting Effect to a CornerRadius and then a Border instance, but the property Effect is of the type Effect[^]
3) you'll need to close the TextBox tag <TextBox ... />
4) you'll need to close the Grid tag <Grid><TextBox.../></Grid>

once you cleared that up it will compile
