Exception: Cannot find resource named 'MaterialDesign...'

This error typically comes when you have a static resource referencing one of the material design styles, and have not included the appropriate resource dictionary that contains the style. Try the following:

• Ensure that you have loaded all of the default material design styles in your App.xaml. You can find directions for this in the Getting Started guide.
• Ensure you have referenced the control specific resource dictionary that contains the style. The path for this is resource dictionary should be <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MaterialDesignThemes.Wpf;component/Themes/MaterialDesignTheme.<Control Name Here>.xaml" />. For example, if you were trying to reference the MaterialDesignFloatingActionMiniButton style for a button, the resource dictionary source would be: <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MaterialDesignThemes.Wpf;component/Themes/MaterialDesignTheme.Button.xaml" />. Typically these inclusions are done at root of your Window, User Control, or Template. You can find the full list of the resource dictionaries here
