How to use same string resource for different item types

You could make x:string resource in the application resource for different control like the following.

<Application.Resources>
    <x:String x:Key="Placeholder">Placeholder Content</x:String>
</Application.Resources>


<TextBox
    Height="44"
    PlaceholderText="dddd"
    Text="{StaticResource Placeholder}"
    />
