Windows Store App - XAML C# - How to access Page.Resource in code

I have a static resource in my Page1.xaml.

<Page.Resources>
    <x:String x:Key="PageName">Page 1</x:String>
</Page.Resources>

I want to access this resource in the code, but can't see how to do it. I'm sure I'm sure I'm missing something simple.

My MainPage uses a single Frame for navigation and the MainPage has the title of the page that is displayed in the Frame.

I would have thought I could do something like this in my MainPage.xaml.cs

    string title = "NOT SET!";
    rootFrame.Resources.TryGetValue("PageName", out title);
    pageTitle.Text = title;

Where rootFrame is the frame that is displaying the Page1.

However this doesn't compile as TryGetValue takes an object as its first parameter.

Here is how I did in the end.

        object title = "NOT SET!";
        object key = "PageName";
        var page = (Page)rootFrame.Content;
        page.Resources.TryGetValue(key, out title);
