title: WPF adding a third party ResourceDictionary to App.xaml?
body: <p>This may well be a stupid question, but I cannot find an answer...</p>
  
  <p>I am just getting started with WPF, and am trying to add a ResourceDictionary to my project.</p>
  
  <p>this one here:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://monotone.codeplex.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://monotone.codeplex.com/</a></p>
  
  <p>So I downloaded the zip file, and unzipped it to:</p>
  
  <p><code>MyProjectDir/MonoTone</code></p>
  
  <p>I have added the following to my <code>App.xaml</code></p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;Application x:Class="TestWPF.App"
               xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
               xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
               xmlns:local="clr-namespace:TestWPF"
               xmlns:xcad="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/avalondock"
               StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml"&gt;
  
      &lt;Application.Resources&gt;
          &lt;ResourceDictionary&gt;
              &lt;ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries&gt;
  
                  &lt;ResourceDictionary Source="Monotone/Monotone.Colors.xaml" /&gt;
                  &lt;ResourceDictionary Source="Monotone/Monotone.Brushes.xaml" /&gt;
                  &lt;ResourceDictionary Source="Monotone/Monotone.MahApps.xaml" /&gt;
                  &lt;ResourceDictionary Source="Monotone/Monotone.xaml" /&gt;
                  &lt;ResourceDictionary Source="Monotone/Monotone.ExtendedWPFToolkit.xaml" /&gt;
                  &lt;ResourceDictionary Source="Monotone/Monotone.ColorBox.xaml" /&gt;
  
              &lt;/ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries&gt;
          &lt;/ResourceDictionary&gt;
  
      &lt;/Application.Resources&gt;
  
  &lt;/Application&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>as here:</p>

  <p>Now Intelsense is underlining the xaml paths, and cannot find the files. </p>
  
  <p>I have added a reference to the dll. What am i missing?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
