Use pack URI syntax to refer resources. Somethning like this:

<Image Source="pack://application:,,,/Another.Assembly.Name;component/PathToResourceInAnotherProject/YourImage.png"/>

Yes,Microsoft makes that possible for you, as long as Project ABC has a reference to Project XYZ.

<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <ResourceDictionary Source="/Project XYZ;component/YourSubFolder/YourResourceFile.xaml" /> </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>

Then you can just use the Resources defined in YourResourceFile.xaml.

It works as per your suggestion! I want to try something more and let you know what I want to achieve is possible or not
Shouldn't it be /Project XYZ; as per your above statement
Well it should be but I understand the what he wants to tell me :)
