If you get an error loading, ensure the Build Action is set to one of the following:

//In the dll, which is in the xap, marked as Build Action: Resource or Page
LoadResource(new Uri("SilverlightApplication48;component/GlobalAssets.xaml", UriKind.Relative));

//In the xap at the same level as the dll, (not in the dll) marked as Build Action: Content.
LoadResource(new Uri("Dictionary1.xaml", UriKind.Relative));

//In a separate library, marked as Build Action: Resource or Page.
LoadResource(new Uri("StylesLibrary;component/Dictionary2.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
