In a ResouceDictionary, we can keep our custom styles, DataTemplates, ControlTemplates, even custom definitions for Brush, Color, Background and a lot of other stuff. But, the important thing is that we have to assign a key to each of them since it is a Dictionary. Or perhaps, we can give names to the styles.

Right Click the project in the Resource folder:
Add->Existing item->Select the Resource file

You can use following line of code to include resource file.

< Window.Resources >
        < ResourceDictionary >
            < ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries >
                < ResourceDictionary Source="sample.xaml" / >
            < /ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries >
        < /ResourceDictionary >
</Window.Resources >

By using key value we can access resource.
Use this function
this.FindResource("Key value")
