The following example shows an application definition file. The application definition file defines a resource section (a value for the Resources property). Resources defined at the application level can be accessed by all other pages that are part of the application. In this case, the resource is a declared style. Because a complete style that includes a control template can be lengthy, this example omits the control template that is defined within the ContentTemplate property setter of the style.

[XAML]

<Application.Resources>

<Style TargetType="Button" x:Key="GelButton" >

<Setter Property="Margin" Value="1,2,1,2"/>

<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Left"/>

<Setter Property="Template">

<Setter.Value>

...

</Setter.Value>

</Setter>

</Style>

</Application.Resources>
