How to use DynamicResource from the codebehind?

I often write the following code in the XAML:

(...)
xmlns:vs="clr-namespace:Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell;assembly=Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.12.0"
(...)

<Path Fill="{DynamicResource {x:Static vs:VsBrushes.GrayText}}">

How can I create such Path from the codebehind? (precisely: how to attach the DynamicResource to the dependency property?)

I hope this helps: FrameworkElement.SetResourceReference Method

EDIT: in your case it should look like this:

pathObject.SetResourceReference(Path.FillProperty, Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.VsBrushes.GrayText);

I don't know why the documentation says that the second parameter should be Object name, it actually accepts the resource Key.

I can answer half of your question with the FrameworkElement.SetResourceReference Method:

PathName.SetResourceReference(Path.FillProperty, "NameOfBrush");

However, I'm not quite sure how you'd use your vs:VsBrushes.GrayText Brush with it.
