I think you can use Keys and Values properties of resourceDictionary instance below.

 string exeFilePath = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase;
 string exeDirPath = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(exeFilePath);
 string targetFile = "subFolder\\ResourceDictionary.xaml";
 string dictionaryPath = new Uri(System.IO.Path.Combine(exeDirPath, targetFile)).LocalPath;
 string xamlString = File.ReadAllText(dictionaryPath);
 ResourceDictionary resourceDictionary = (ResourceDictionary)XamlReader.Parse(xamlString);
