How can i combine multiple XAML files using C# in WPF?

Question

I'm trying to combine multiple XAML files to make a big XAML file with different elements, how can I make that happen if I have like 10 XAML single files?

please clarify your question ... Is it data you're reading? otherwise, like @clcto said, are you looking at merging dictionaries? are you looking to have a program that copies several xmls into one? — Noctis

Does the order matter or you want the elements to be combined? — Alireza Noori

Create a ResourceDictionary. You can then use the ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries tag.

   <Application.Resources>
     <ResourceDictionary>
       <SolidColorBrush Color="#d0157820" x:Key="muddyBrush"/>
       <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
         <ResourceDictionary Source="firstXamlFile.xaml" />
         <ResourceDictionary Source="secondXamlFile.xaml" />
         <ResourceDictionary Source="anotherXamlFile.xaml" />
       </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
     </ResourceDictionary>
   </Application.Resources>

You can merge multiple XAML file using merge distionary in App.XAML file. this will apply on all controls of the application.

like..

<Application.Resources>
 <ResourceDictionary>
   <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
     <ResourceDictionary Source="your1stXamlFile.xaml" />
     <ResourceDictionary Source="Youe2ndXAMLFile.xaml" />
   </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
 </ResourceDictionary>

Sounds like you might want to use UserControls? E.g. you have several user controls that are just used and displayed in the main window.
