Could not find ObjectDataProvider when localizing wpf

Question

I have a project along with main project in my solution. I want to localize the content in this xaml file in this project.

I use the ways that have been discussed here How to change UI language using resource dictionary at run time in MVVM? .

However I could not find ObjectDataProvider in any way.

<UserControl xmlns:languageHelper="clr-namespace:XX"
  <UserControl.Resources>
<ObjectDataProvider x:Key="Resources" ObjectType="{x:Type languageHelper:CultureResources}" MethodName="GetResourceInstance"/>
  </UserControl.Resources>
</UserControl>

and I use this code to find ObjectDataProvider but i coulnt get it through

public static ObjectDataProvider ResourceProvider
    {
      get
      {
        if (m_provider == null)
          m_provider = (ObjectDataProvider)System.Windows.Application.Current.FindResource("Resources");
        return m_provider;
      }
    }

Resources.Culture = culture;
        ResourceProvider.Refresh();

It shows System.Windows.ResourceReferenceKeyNotFoundException: ''Resources' resource not found.'

Well the problem is that you are creating your ObjectDataProvider in your UserControls resources. I think you have to create that in your App.xaml file

here is an example:

<Application.Resources>    
    <ResourceDictionary>           
        <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>

               <ObjectDataProvider x:Key="Resources"
                    ObjectType="{x:Type languageHelper:CultureResources}" 
                    MethodName="GetResourceInstance"/>

        </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
    </ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
