Cleaning up your theme files with MergeDictionary

Once you get the resources for more than one control in generic.xaml, things can get a bit messy. What one really wants: split up your resources into separate dictionaries for each control. I do this as part of the latest bag-o-tricks . I should get Lauren

TreeListView - Scary Cool Control Mash-up in WPF

As promised, the ATC team has posted another ListView sample . This sample is amazing because it doesn’t involve ListView at all. Instead, it uses the primitives we designed for ListView--namely GridViewColumn and GridViewRowPresenter. The code required
