i'm having a problem with my project. In a library that i created, i have a subfolder which contains some view and viewmodels, but since those are in a class library, i don't have an app.xaml. This has always worked without a problem.
Recently i was tasked to encrypt that dll using a tool my company bought. What this tool does, is basically to decrypt and load dinamically the assembly. Now my problem is that, when i load dinamically the class library i was mentioning before, when a window has to be launched i get the following exception
Can't locate resources identified by URI '/mydll;component/subfolder/mainwindow.xaml'
I've read that WPF has some problem when you load assemblies in this way, and a workaround is to add in the App.xaml a dummy global resources like the following:
<Application x:Class="TestWpfApp.App"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml">
<Application.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="Dummy" Color="Yellow"></SolidColorBrush>
</Application.Resources>
</Application>
But i don't have an App.xaml. Is there a way on how i can solve this?
Currently my setup is the following:
I have a project which has a class AssemblyLoader. This class handle the following event:
AppDomain currentDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;
currentDomain.AssemblyResolve += new ResolveEventHandler(currentDomain_AssemblyResolve);
So every time the framework need something from a dll that is referenced, currentDomain_AssemblyResolve is called. If the assembly needed is encrypted, i use a dll to decrypt it and return the assemblies. I'm sure that the assembly is loaded because i can hit the "business" part. It throw an exception when he call InitializeComponent() inside the window
