It is unable to find the Resource file. Give a proper path there. A typical resource dictionary path will look as below:

Note: Change the name of the ASSEMBLY_NAME in the above code. Also change the FILENAME. If it is in a different sub directory, say "Themes", it will look as below:

Hope this will answer your query. Mark as Answer, if this helps.
