Style.Setters Property

XAML Values

• oneOrMoreSetters
  One or more object elements for objects that derive from SetterBase. Generally, these are Setter object elements.

The verbose syntax for property element syntax is not necessary because Setters is the content property for Style, and therefore the Style.Setters property element may be omitted. However, some users (and some tools) choose to use an explicit property element usage for Style.Setters.

Property Value

Type: System.Windows.SetterBaseCollection
A collection of Setter objects. The default is an empty collection.
