Create the trvStyle.xaml:
<ResourceDictionary
xmlns="http://......"
xmlns:x="http://...." >
<Style x:Key="TreeViewStyle" TargetType="{x:Type TreeView}">
<!-- do your style stuff here -->
</Style>
</ResourceDictionary>
<Window x:Name="Window1" ...>
....
<TreeView Style="{DynamicResource TreeViewStyle}">
...
</TreeView>
</Window>
Then you need to load the style dynamically (XamlReader.Load) the resource
dictionary and then either replace the Application.Current.Resources (or what
ever ResourceDictionary your interested in) or you could merge them together.
Adding or replacing the enteries with those from the dynamically loaded
dictionary.
