using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

using Xamarin.Forms;
using Xamarin.Forms.Xaml;

namespace AppForm.Styles
{
    [XamlCompilation(XamlCompilationOptions.Compile)]
    public partial class TabStyle : ResourceDictionary
    {
        public TabStyle()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }
}

Step 1:
Create a ContentPage or ContentView file in the solution and give the file name like this. -> MyInnerResourceDictionary.xaml.
	1.1: Remove the code behind file.
	1.2: in the XAML file change the name of the base class from ContentView or ContentPage to ResourceDictionary. 
	In addition, remove the x:Class attribute from the root tag of the file.

Step 2:
Consume Resource Dictionary file in the MainPage.xaml [Check Source Code].

If we want to develop external style inside the .Net standard Class library.

Step 3:
Create .Net Standard Class Library. 
	3.1 Select the solution and Unload the Project.
	3.2 Select the solution and Edit Project file.
	3.3 Add the following reference in the .csproj file project.
	<ItemGroup>
		<PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Forms" Version="4.8.0.1451" />
		<PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Essentials" Version="1.5.3.2" />
	</ItemGroup>
    3.4 
	Create a ContentPage or ContentView file in the solution and give the file name like this. -> MyOuterResourceDictionary.xaml [Check Source Code]
		Do not remove the code behind file.
		in the XAML file change the name of the base class from ContentView or ContentPage to ResourceDictionary. 
		add x:Class attribute from the root tag of the file.

Step 4:
Add the project refereance in Main the Solution.

Step 5:
Go to MainPage.xaml file.
	5.1 
	Add the external style referance in root tag
	xmlns:mystyles="clr-namespace:StylesLib.MyStyles;assembly=StylesLib"

	5.2
	Using Merge Dictionary call the external style referance
	 <ContentPage.Resources>
        <!--Internal Style-->
        <ResourceDictionary Source="RootStyles/MyInnerResourceDictionary.xaml">
            <!--For External Library-->
            <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
                <mystyles:MyOuterResourceDictionary></mystyles:MyOuterResourceDictionary>
            </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        </ResourceDictionary>
    </ContentPage.Resources>
