How to fetch string from resource to assign in WPF Resource section in xaml

Question

I have a XBAP application with the following user control:

  <UserControl x:Class="XXX.UsersGrid"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Height="Auto" Width="Auto">

        <UserControl.Resources>
            <DataTemplate x:Key="UpArrowUsers">
                <DockPanel>
                    <TextBlock Text="xxUser" x:Name="upArrowUsersHeader" HorizontalAlignment="Center"></TextBlock>
                    <Path x:Name="arrow" StrokeThickness = "1" Fill= "gray" Data= "M 5,10 L 15,10 L 10,5 L 5,10"/>
                </DockPanel>
            </DataTemplate>
    </UserControl>
    ...

Now I want to fetch the string "xxUser" from a resx file which is embed as resource in the application How do I achieve this?

None of those answers are close to what you want. I'd start by reading about Localization in WPF. You'll find that if you are doing localization with WPF you'll want x:Uid defined on every node in your app.
