The FrameworkBootstrapper class has been a source of confusion mostly due to the lack of documentation. I've just updated and posted the documentation explaining what it does and how it can be customized.

Sorry, wrong link. Here's the correct one.

I think it would also be a good idea to make it clear that the code on that documentation page:

<Application x:Class="SampleApplication.App"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             xmlns:app="clr-namespace:SampleApplication;assembly=SampleApplication.SL">
    <Application.Resources>
        <app:AppBootstrapper x:Key="Bootstrapper" />
    </Application.Resources>
</Application>

I don't think it will work for a WPF app, you've got to use:

<Application x:Class="SampleApplication.App"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             xmlns:app="clr-namespace:SampleApplication;assembly=SampleApplication.SL">
    <Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary>
        <app:AppBootstrapper x:Key="Bootstrapper" />
</ResourceDictionary>
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
    </Application.Resources>
</Application>

That is very true. Thank you for pointing that out. I will update the page.
