Answer 1

Create a folder as Generic in the root folder and have your resource files there...

To access it in XAML

  <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
    <ResourceDictionary Source="Generic.xaml" />
  </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>

or

<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
    <ResourceDictionary Source="/AssembleName;component/Generic.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>

To access it in .cs

new URI(pack://application:,,,/AssembleName;component/Generic.xaml)
