I am trying to load ResourceDictionary from another assembly.

I am able to read a resource file which is in the same assembly by the below lines of code

ResourceDictionary rd = new ResourceDictionary();
rd.Source = new Uri("ms-appx:///Common/StandardStyles.xaml", UriKind.Absolute);
object o;
rd.TryGetValue("ColorDarkOrange", out o);

Found the below links but these doesn't work well with windows 8 app (Winrt)

Instantiate ResourceDictionary xaml from other Assembly

ResourceDictionary in a separate assembly

Looking forward for help.

Have you tried doing the same thing, but appending the assembly name to the front of the Uri? – Nate Diamond Jan 13 '14 at 02:28
tried that too, but no success – Shashank Bisen Feb 28 '14 at 07:18
One other thing to try is "ms-appdata" – Nate Diamond Feb 28 '14 at 17:13
