Solution

  • Try something like this:

    public void LoadStyle(string fileName)
    {
        if (File.Exists(fileName))
        {
            try
            {
                using (FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Open, 
    FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read))
                {
                    ResourceDictionary resourceDictionary = (ResourceDictionary)XamlReader.
    Load(fileStream);
                    Resources.MergedDictionaries.Clear(); // optional
                    Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(resourceDictionary);
                }
            }
            catch { }
        }
    }
