In C# Code-Behind, you can do like this:

ResourceDictionary rd = new ResourceDictionary();
FrameworkElement fe = new FrameworkElement() 
{
   Cursor = new Cursor("pack://application:,,,/Resources/openhand.cur") 
};
rd.Add("OpenHand", fe);
Application.Current.Resources = rd;

If there are other ResourceDictionary in you Resources, you should add rd into Resources, not set Resources to rd:

Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(rd);

Try this :

 public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            DataContext = new MainViewModel();
            var res = new ResourceDictionary();
            var frame = new FrameworkElement() 
            {
             Cursor = new Cursor("pack://application:,,,/Resources/openhand.cur") 
            };
            res .Add("framework", frame);
            this.Resources.Add(rd);
        }
