Hello,
Can someone help me? I have BaseClass(Derived from UserControl) which declares dependancy property BackGroundColor,
All my inherited classes use this property to set the background for each of them.
Now when I set my property using style in my theme file, using base class, this style is not applied for any of inherited class,
But if I set style using derived class, Style is applied correctly. I have more than 10 derived classes, that may use this property.
Can Someone tell me, how can I set the property in my theme file for base class and all the derived classes would get it?
something like,

Hi,
Silverlight 3 has new feature called "BasedOn", it can help you to remove style redundancy.
sample xaml
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White"> <Grid.Resources> <Style TargetType="FrameworkElement" x:Name="fe_style"> <Setter Property="Width" Value="100"/> <Setter Property="Height" Value="50"/> </Style> <Style TargetType="Button" BasedOn="{StaticResource fe_style}" x:Name="bn_style"> <Setter Property="Content" Value="Hello,world"/> </Style> </Grid.Resources> <Button Style="{StaticResource bn_style}"/> </Grid>
here is a link about "BasedOn"
