Answer 1

In my case it was that I wanted to load a XAML file using the code below, but it's Build Action was set to Page instead of Resource:

Uri uri = new Uri(resourcePath, System.UriKind.Relative);
Stream stream = Application.GetResourceStream(uri).Stream;
UIElement view = (UIElement)XamlReader.Load(stream);
stream.Close();
