Is that possible to set an integer value in WPF control Resources?!

<UserControl.Resources>

    <SolidColorBrush x:Key="MyLineBrush" Color="LightGreen" />

    ??? <Integer x:Key="MyStrokeThickness" Value="2" /> ???


    <Style TargetType="local:MyLine" x:Key="MyLineStyleKey">    

        <Setter Property="Stroke" 
            Value="{DynamicResource MyLineBrush}"/>

        <Setter Property="StrokeThickness" 
            Value="{DynamicResource MyStrokeThickness}"/>

    </Style>

In order to modify dynamically the MyLineBrush and MyStrokeThickness values...

To make that declaration you need to import the System namespace:

xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"

...

<sys:Int32 x:Key="MyValue">1234</sys:Int32>

Note: you will need to use a Double for most WPF properties instead of an Int32
