title: Design-Time Resourcedictionaries
body: <p>I have created something like <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/946869/is-it-possible-to-share-a-resourcedictionary-file-between-multiple-projects">this</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1219141/how-to-style-a-xaml-window-with-a-resourcedictionary-that-exist-in-a-dll">this</a>.<br>
  In effect I have a dll which supplies me with a "styler" for my application - it contains all my basic styles as well as a factory to call <code>StylerFactory.DefaultStyler.ApplyStyles(this)</code> on an Application - which merges the supplied ResourceDictionaries with the existing. This way I don't need all the basic styles in my components, nor do I need explicit references to my sesource-xaml-files.<br>
  Now - while this is working real good. The Styles are (obviously) not visible during design-time 
  To my questions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Was that approach wise, or would it have been better to deploy xaml-resources and use them in every app/window/control ?</li>
  <li>Does someone see any possibility to apply my styles to the design-time display of VS2008 ?</li>
  </ol>
