WPF ControlTemplates Exchange

I am trying to learn more about WPF. I checked an online tutorial that created a button and then created a template to apply to additional buttons. The problem is that this template is in Window.xaml and I can only access the template from this application. How do I make the pattern more globablly accessible? I am thinking of some way to reference the xaml, how you can reference an assembly from another project or solution.

You can use the "resource dictionaries" you reference in your App.xaml like this (Expression Blend does this automatically):

<Application.Resources>
    <!-- Resources scoped at the Application level should be defined here. -->
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
            <ResourceDictionary Source="ResourceDictionary1.xaml"/>
        </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
    </ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>


To reference a resource from another assembly, use the package URI syntax. This link also covers.
