Styles - Microsoft Silverlight 5 - Lesson 12 | .net courses

Duration: 17 minutes

Summary: In this video, we will build on that concept by creating styles. The styles are created using resources, and they can target specific controls. For example, I can create a style that makes the font bold and the target is a button. Then, I can use that style with any button on the page. In our example today, we will create a set of buttons, check boxes, radio buttons, and rectangles. We will create styles that target every one of those controls. Then we will apply those styles to the controls. At the end we will change some of the control properties that are defined in the style within the control itself. We will notice that the control can override the property defined in the style.

Methodology of the development of example: Good coding standard and simplified design to illustrate the key points.
