ResourceDictionary Viewer

[michael-hawker]

Feature Background

Status: In-progress
Tracking Issue: #8

The resource view lets you open a file that's a ResourceDictionary and visualize the contents of the keys within it be it raw values/brushes or styles for controls.

(This was a hidden experimental feature in v1.x, but has been improved upon since.)

Technical Info

If you're looking to help improve the functionality and richness of display here, the code for the ResourceViewer can be found in the XamlStudio.Toolkit project's ResourceViewer folder.

There is a template for each type of resource found in ResourceTemplates.xaml, it can provide a good starting point to understand how the resource viewer works and can be extended for other types. The template is automatically selected by type name, using reflection, so you should only need to add a new DataTemplate for the given type naming it <type>Template.
