WPF User Control Resources
Question
I have a custom control extending the WPF Datagrid. Inside Custom control, the resources and control template of the grid are defined
<DataGrid.Resources>
<local:VisibilityConverter x:Key="visibilityConverter" />
<Style x:Key="ColumnHeaderGripperStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Thumb}">
<Setter Property="Width" Value="8" />
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
<Setter Property="Cursor" Value="SizeWE" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Thumb}">
<Border Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" />
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
<!--May need Commented if clashes with other Styles-->
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridColumnHeader}" x:Key="DataGridColumnHeaderStyle">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#FF000000" />

</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</DataGrid.Resources>
And the VisibilityConverter defined as
[ValueConversion(typeof(Visibility), typeof(bool))]
class VisibilityConverter : IValueConverter
{
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
bool? val = value as bool?;
if (val == null) val = false;
Visibility visible = (val == false ? Visibility.Collapsed : Visibility.Visible);
return visible;
}
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
Visibility? visible = value as Visibility?;
if (visible == null) visible = Visibility.Collapsed;
bool val = (visible == Visibility.Collapsed || visible == Visibility.Hidden ? false : true);
return val;
}
}
In the usage of the control, when I attempt to declare a resources like below, run time exception is thrown at the below declaration as
'Set property 'System.Windows.ResourceDictionary.DeferrableContent' threw an exception.' Line number '368' and line position '30'.
with the inner exception
{"Cannot re-initialize ResourceDictionary instance."}
<local:EnhancedWPFDataGrid.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type DataGridCell}">
<EventSetter Event="PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown" Handler="DataGridCell_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown"></EventSetter>
</Style>
<uc:Settings x:Key="settings"/>
</local:EnhancedWPFDataGrid.Resources>
If I comment above Resources from the xaml, it works fine.
Could you please shed some lights what is wrong with this?
Thanks in advance.

I think you're trying to redefine the ResourceDictionary that you've created when setting up your custom control. You've already created the resource dictionary for use with the control, and you're then attempting to create it again (hence the re-initialize exception).
You could move your styling for the DataGridCell into the main template (which you wouldn't want to do in your case, because of your EvenSetter , which is presumably instance specific).
A better solution for you may be to define that style in another ResourceDictionary and reference it, or add the Style to the resources for the Window/Page where you're using the custom control (eg you could add it to the resources of a parent Grid ).
I believe you can also merge resource dictionaries, although I've never tried it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa350178.aspx
