I need to instantiate WPF types (say, a UserControl or a Page) via reflection for a designer. The problem I'm having is that when I attempt to instantiate these using Activator.CreateInstance I get a TargetInvocationException which wraps, in the end, an exception thrown by the StaticResource markup extension. Clarification: The types ...

For example, I would like to define a Brush to use as both the Background of a Border and the Fill of a different Rectangle. In a different VisualState I would like to change this background Brush in o...
