Style in ResourceDictionary being ignored

[Karen]

I am trying to remove the mouseover row highlight on a RadGridView. I've followed the instructions here, but I put the style in a resource dictionary. Here is the App.xaml:

<ResourceDictionary>
    <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        <ResourceDictionary Source="Styles/GridViewRowStyle.xaml"/>
    </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>

And the RadGridView xaml:

<telerik:RadGridView x:Name="statusGrid" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CanUserDeleteRows="False"
         CanUserInsertRows="False" ItemsSource="{Binding Status}"
         IsReadOnly="True" RowStyle="{DynamicResource GridViewRowStyle}">

This style is completely ignored if it is in an external file. If I do the same procedure as in the stated in the documentation but put it in the MainWindow.xaml file, it works correctly. Why is this?

Hello,

I tested the described behavior and I am afraid I could not reproduce any issue.

You can check the attached demo solution as a reference.

Let me know how it works for you.

Hello,

I figured out it was because I am not using the App.xaml for anything other than the designer. I had to add the resources manually. Thanks anyhow.
