Difference between Static Resource and Dynamic Resource
Look at Table:
| Static Resource | Dynamic Resource |
Syntax:
<object property="{StaticResource key}" .../>
<object>
<object.property>
<StaticResource ResourceKey="key" .../>
</object.property>
</object> | Syntax:
<object property="{DynamicResource key}" .../>
<object>
<object.property>
<DynamicResource ResourceKey="key" .../> </object.property>
</object>

| It Assign the property in the while between Compilation and Application runs. So all values are resolved before the application runs | It may called as On Demand Resource because it actually loads the object but value that is wait until the object need while the runtime |
| It will assign once at the compile time, So the value changes done after the runtime can be ignored | It will assign the vale whenever the object demand for the same |
| It uses the same value up to entire lifetime of the application | It will refer the value whenever it requires, May be refreshed |
| It is very optimal to use whenever the value may not be changed like, Brushes, Font e.t.c | It is very optimal way to use whenever we change the value by code behind. |
| It will not refer any other parent’s resources, So it fail to use in UserControl | Here it will assign the resource to any other control, So it referred in UserControl from its hosted Parent |
| While using Complex Object, It take more time to load the application | It quickly loads even we used heavy resource object. |
