Vista - Access App.Current from within a Control?

I'm subclassing Listview and would like to have that code access an
Application Resource so that each instance of the control doesn't have
its own copy of the resource to save memory. But the following:

App.Current.Resources["MyResource"];

Will not work in this class. It says App does not exist in the current
context. Is there a way around this and still allow the control to be
instantiated in XAML?

Hi,


The class name is Application and Current is static property. The code has
to be

Application.Current.Resource[...]
