1Why would you want to do that? – Arian Motamedi Nov 12 '13 at 00:14

Do you mean like a [MergedDictionary](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa350178%28v=vs.110%29.aspx) ? – clcto Nov 12 '13 at 00:15

please clarify your question ... Is it data you're reading? otherwise, like @clcto said, are you looking at merging dictionaries? are you looking to have a program that copies several xmls into one? – Noctis Nov 12 '13 at 00:19

Does the order matter or you want the *elements* to be combined? – Alireza Noori Nov 12 '13 at 00:42

Create a ResourceDictionary. You can then use the ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries tag.
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<SolidColorBrush Color="#d0157820" x:Key="muddyBrush"/>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="firstXamlFile.xaml" />
<ResourceDictionary Source="secondXamlFile.xaml" />
<ResourceDictionary Source="anotherXamlFile.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>

You can merge multiple XAML file using merge distionary in App.XAML file. this will apply on all controls of the application.
like..
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="your1stXamlFile.xaml" />
<ResourceDictionary Source="Youe2ndXAMLFile.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>

Sounds like you might want to use UserControls? E.g. you have several user controls that are just used and displayed in the main window.

I would suggest you to adding some link to documentation on user controls in WPF, so OP can do some reading – Cleptus May 27 '20 at 08:34
