The best way of loading themes involves dynamic loading of styles from the server and parsing them into the App Resources. You are correct in that the order of loading must reflect the dependancies of one style on another and must occur before you load the root element of your application.

Understood, thanks. I'll try this and a relaying approach, though all this will remain hack'ish till it is rightfully addressed at the framework level. Hopefully, in SL4.

We have our modular framework similar to prism. At first when we are loading shell we are trying to load all styles from resource dictionary which hold shared styles.

We parse it with Linq to XML and try load every styles separately with xaml loader (try { xamlLoader.Load.... } catch { try this style later.. }

When new module are loaded we try load the rest of styles again.

Currently we loading them into dynamically created empty merged resource dictionary.

The loading order matters. But we cant break it with such lazy loading manner.

Sorry, you load the styles one-by-one into what/where? Is it the main resource dictionary or the root visual's resources collection? And I suppose in this case the order of loading would also matter, right?

We have very dirty solution that works... We try load all styles one by one. If XamlLoader throws exception we skip them. Once new module are loaded we recheck styles that are still don't loaded.

I haven't noticed any performance issues. But u know.. It looks like total rubbish =)

I know this is a big problem, something I'm also trying to get around. Now, I've not gone into it technically yet, but a possible solution could be to declare a static relay and then at runtime provide an implementation. Another solution is detailed in this post, which I like but I've not tested it yet. Have a look www.markusegger.com/.../Development.aspx

Yes, I also am interested to know if ulimited polling is possible in a duplex wcf service? And also, if sockets are more of a reliable solution? Are sockets limited to a number of connections?
