Can't figure out why I get Error loading static resource from app.xaml










1















I having trouble getting my ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries to load from app.xaml.



My WPF app has a static class with a Main defined and startup object set to it. Within Main I created an instance of App and run it. The override OnStartup fires and the mainwindow.cs InitializeComponent gives the error "Message "Cannot find resource named 'MaterialDesignFloatingActionMiniAccentButton'. If I put the resources in the mainwindow.xaml everything is fine, but I wanted them to load at the app level so I they are not in each page. Any help appreciated.



public partial class App

protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)

base.OnStartup(e);
var app = new MainWindow();
var context = new MainWindowViewModel();
app.DataContext = context;
app.Show();




from the Main..



 var app = new App();
app.Run();


app.xaml..



<Application x:Class="GS.Server.App"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
