Programming Windows Presentation Foundation: Styles and Control Templates

Overview In WPF, a style is also a set of properties applied to content used for visual rendering. A style can be used to set properties on an existing visual element, such as setting the font weight of a Button control, or it can be used to define the way an object looks, such as showing the name and age from a Person object. In addition to the features in word processing styles, WPF styles have specific features for building applications, including the ability to associate different visual effects based on user events, provide entirely new looks for existing controls, and even designate rendering behavior for non-visual objects.
