Silverlight
Hi there,
I have a silverlight application with a number of styles defined in a seperate xaml file under the directory /Styles. My App.xaml looks like this:
<Application.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
            <ResourceDictionary Source="/Styles/Legend.xaml"/>
        </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
    </ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
Legend.xaml has its build action set to Content and 'Do Not Copy' as the copy to output directory setting.
The message I'm getting in blend is:
An error occurred while finding the resource dictionary "/Styles/Legend.xaml"
Thanks in advance!
