And if I've got some standardized control templates, I might keep them in here, ControlResources.xaml, Here are my Styles and Templates for things like the Button and TextBlock. In the ImagesResources resource dictionary, I'm instantiating some bitmap images. And I'll use these for my logos throughout the application. For this demonstration, I'll work with the PrimaryBrush and the AccentBrush that are inside this resource dictionary. And I'll use those on some shapes I have over here in MainWindow.xaml…
