Code MainWindow.xaml

<Window x:Class="WpfResourcesApp3.MainWindow"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="248" Width="261">
<Window.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary Source="Dictionary1.xaml"/>

<Grid>
<Button Content="Button" Height="42" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Margin="52,48,0,0" Name="button1"
VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="88" />
<Button Content="Button" Height="32" HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Margin="52,104,0,0" Name="button2" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75" />
</Grid>

/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class MainWindow : Window

InitializeComponent();
button1.Background = (Brush)FindResource("myBrush1");
button2.SetResourceReference(BackgroundProperty, "myBrush2");
