Hi!

In case, someone tried to resolve my previous question, I did it like the following:

DataTemplate mycolumnDataTemplate = null;

var dataTemplateStream = new SomeClass().GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("Some.Namespace.SomeReosurceName.xaml");

string dataTemplateString = new System.IO.StreamReader(dataTemplateStream).ReadToEnd();

dataTemplateString = dataTemplateString.Replace("[0]", browserColumn.ColumnName);

mycolumnDataTemplate = XamlReader.Load(dataTemplateString) as DataTemplate;

thanks
