ResourceDictionary Class
namespace Noesis | MSDN
Provides a hash table implementation that contains resources used by the UI.
ResourceDictionaries are implicitly created when using the Resources property of tree elements. But a resource dictionary can also be declared as a single XAML file for later runtime load or for merging it into the Application or a FrameworkElement.
