I'm sorry I couldn't reply to your message earlier because I was having exams and projects. I couldn't understand your message back then so I decided to get back to it after exams with a clear mind. Finally I got the time to try to understand it again and I'm confused.

MainApp.exe - has merged resources
LibraryOne - no resources, uses resource in MainApp.exe. Does not reference MainApp.exe. Resources here all use the DynamicResource mark up extenstion when assigning them.
Why do all your applications has the resources in the exe and the dlls uses these resources?
Trying to understand, I wrote some code trying to apply what you described and I don't know If it's what you meant or not.
Class1 in a library that doesn't reference the exe.
public class Class1
{
public static void Foo()
{
var resourceDictionary = new ResourceDictionary()
{
Source = new Uri(@"WpfApplication4;component\Dictionary1.xaml", UriKind.Relative)
};
Debug.WriteLine(resourceDictionary["msg"]);
}
}
The exe (which references the library which reside in the same directory) has Dictionary1.xaml
<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mscorlib="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib">
<mscorlib:String x:Key="msg">Hello, world!</mscorlib:String>
</ResourceDictionary>
Then the exe calls the Foo method in the library (in debug) somewhere.
I don't know if this is near what you described or not. Or is it that the exe doesn't reference the dlls and use resources defined in the dlls and load them from code? It'd be great if you clarify this. Thank you.

Mr. Karl,
Thank you so much for clarifying and the link for the article. Now I see why and how it works. I like the article, very useful  , planning to read the available parts and waiting for the upcoming parts.

I have a custom control which dynamically add texboxes...This control is inherited from StackPanel....
Now I have a collection of textboxes which will dynamically added to the StackPanel.
I want to add a message control below each text box and manually hide and show that...which will have hanging kind of look...
My question is that, how can I add the message control dynamically below each textbox control?
I think I am trying to get the X, Y coordinates of the textbox on mousemove event and trying to place the message control but not able to get any result...
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance,

Not tried it yet, but I think if you just add controls to a stack panel that has its orientation set of vertical, they get added in first-in order. This should just keep putting then one under the next.
As far as I know the insert method of the stack panels children collection allows for an index number to be given though, so you could do it that way also I guess.

An alternative to doing all this manually from code would be to
use a collection of a data type that has the required properties
for each item. Then using an ItemsControl (or derived) you can use a data
template for the items, so each time you add an item to the collection, all
the UI elements for the item will be magically created using the template.

Hi there, excuse my bad english 
I wrote a Style on my dictionary that change the border's borderbrush (to pink). I ran the program and everything look great. (I'm running Vista).
Well, I send it to my girlfriend and she has XP. In XP the program show double borders everywhere, tabs names with double pink border, the border with another border (¿Usercontrol border?)...
I remember the lesson about Visual trees, and I think that these items have and implicit border and the style applies to they too.
The question is, why I saw the changes only in the borders that I explicit put and not the others?
I hope you can understand me.
Long live to codeproject

You have to force the app to use the vista aero theme.
<application x:class="WPFApplication1.App" xmlns:x="#unknown">
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
StartupUri="WindowMain.xaml">
<application.resources>
<resourcedictionary source="/PresentationFramework.Aero;V3.0.0.0;31bf3856ad364e35;component/themes/aero.normalcolor.xaml" />
</application.resources>
</application>
Don't forget to add a reference to PresentationFrameworkAero. When you do this, even XP will show Aero-style control appearance.

Thanks you very much.
It's work perfectly and I have not to worry with this weird behavior in XP thanks to this little black magic :P
Thanks you again.

WPF is only half finished. When VS2010 is released, we'll get a little more of it.

The Codeplex WPF site[^] is a good place to get your hands on controls
before they are rolled into the framework.
The WPF Toolkit has had a date/calendar control for a while - not sure
about a time picker...

So all of those were fixed? If not, how many apply to your potential
usage of the control?
I've personally used the control, including in data grids, with no
issues. As with everything else in Windows, your results may vary.
Have you googled for other controls? There's tons of companies providing
WPF components - many with their own issues

That is the list of fixes.
As it's always been with Windows programming - if there isn't a
system-provided control that suits your needs, you write your own.
At least WPF makes it easier than ever.

Hello.
I have several hundred buttons that need the same animation applied on mouse enter, in AS3 I'd do this with a tween and apply that tween using e.currentTarget, probably inside a for loop. Is there a way to do this in WPF, have a storyboard for no specific object be applied to an array of items?
Regards.
E.

This is trivial in WPF. All you need do is declare a storyboard inside a trigger that applys to the button type. Here's a simple example:
<Page
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<Page.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" To="0.20" Duration="0:0:0.5" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.EnterActions>
<Trigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" To="1" Duration="0:0:0.5" />
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.ExitActions>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Page.Resources>
<StackPanel>
<Button Content="Hello" />
<Button Content="Hello 2" />
</StackPanel>
</Page>

Hello.
Thank you for that, it makes sense. Can that method be used for DoubleAnimationUsingKeyframes however, as the animations need to be more complex than I'd be happy to try and code so will create them in Blend on a proxy object. When attempting this I get:
[unknown]property does not point to a dependency object in path"(0).(1).[2].(2);"

Certainly. Here's this sample modified:
<Page xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<Page.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True">
<Trigger.EnterActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity">
<LinearDoubleKeyFrame Value="0.6" KeyTime="0:0:0.5" />
<DiscreteDoubleKeyFrame Value="0.2" KeyTime="0:0:1" />
</DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.EnterActions>
<Trigger.ExitActions>
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0:0:0.5" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" To="1"/>
</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</Trigger.ExitActions>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
</Page.Resources>
<StackPanel>
<Button Content="Hello"/>
<Button Content="Hello 2"/>
</StackPanel>
</Page>
