Step 1 Add a reference to the topic Style

• In solution, right-click "Reference" and select "add reference"
• Find the Silverlight Tookit directory, such as D: \ silverlighttookit \ Binaries
• Add Microsoft. Windows. Controls. theming
• In the following description, we will use the red theme style, so we also need to add Microsoft. Windows. Controls. theming. shinyred. dll in the binaries \ themes folder.

Step 2 declare a namespace

• Open page. XAML and add the following declaration for the usercontrol node to reference the shinyred style component.

<UserControl     xmlns:basics="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls"      xmlns:data="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data"      x:Class="SilverlightDemo.Page"    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"     xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"     Width="900" Height="625"    xmlns:shinyRed="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Windows.Controls.Theming;assembly=Microsoft.Windows.Controls.Theming.ShinyRed"     >

Step 3 apply the style to the control

• Add a style Declaration for the control you want to apply the style.

<Canvas> <shinyred: shinyredtheme> <button content = "Welcome to 4mvc" width = "80"> </button> </shinyred: shinyredtheme> </canvas>

Success!
