Quick Start Tutorial: Creating Universal Apps Via Xamarin: Style in XAML - Part 11

Sample code


If both Explicit and Implicit style specifies the same target type, the priority is always high for the Explicit-assigned style.

Setter

Setter class assignment of a property to a value contains the two members -- Property and Value.

Property is represented to the Control attributes like “TextColor” or “Font.” Value is represented to the control attributes and value is like “Red” or “12.”

Example,
Style can be defined in three different ways,

1. Page level
2. Control level
3. Global level

Page level

Each XAML page style is declared inside in the Page.Resources tag and it is local within the page but can not be accessed outside.

Control level

Control level styles are declared inside the control resources dictionary. It can’t be accessed outside of the control. The key is available in the same page.


Global level

Global level helps to access anywhere in the application. Style must be declared inside the Application Xaml file.
Note

Default Xamarin app.xaml file is not created. Add a new XAML page (remove all the template created tags) and add the code shown above into the newly created file and change the x: class name, if the class name is different. Add partial key in the app class.
