Getting ComponentResourceKey to work?

I am building a WPF application with multiple assemblies and I want to share a resource dictionary. This requires a ComponentResourceKey . I created a small demo to test CRK, and I can't get it to work.

There are two projects in my demo: a WPF project called Demo and a DLL called Common. In the general project there is a folder "Themes". It contains a resource dictionary, generic.xaml. Here is the text of the resource dictionary:

<ResourceDictionary 
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:Common" >

    <SolidColorBrush 
        x:Key="{ComponentResourceKey TypeInTargetAssembly={x:Type local:SharedResources}, ResourceId=RedSolidBrush}" 
        Color="Red"/>

</ResourceDictionary>

Common also contains the SharedResources.cs class. It contains a property for referencing a Brush resource in a dictionary:

public static ComponentResourceKey RedSolidBrush
{
    get { return new ComponentResourceKey(typeof (SharedResources), "RedSolidBrush"); }
}

Finally, the main window in my Demo project refers to the brush resource to fill the rectangle:

<Window x:Class="ComponentResourceKeyDemo.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:res="clr-namespace:Common;assembly=Common"
    Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
    <Grid>
        <Rectangle Height="100" Width="100" Stroke="Black" Fill="{DynamicResource {ComponentResourceKey TypeInTargetAssembly={x:Type res:SharedResources}, ResourceId=RedSolidBrush}}" />
    </Grid>
</Window>

The Resource "{ComponentResourceKey ResourceId=RedSolidBrush, TypeInTargetAssembly={x:Type res:SharedResources}}" could not be resolved.
