I've created a custom render for my switches in WP, in this render I assign a style I've defined in the App.xaml
<Style x:Key="ToggleSwitchWithMargin" TargetType="controls:ToggleSwitch">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource PhoneBackgroundBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilyLight}"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeLarge}"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource PhoneForegroundBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="False"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left"/>
<Setter Property="SwitchForeground" Value="{StaticResource PhoneAccentBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Top"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="controls:ToggleSwitch">
<Border BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" CacheMode="BitmapCache" Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Normal"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Disabled">
<Storyboard>
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0" To="0.3" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" Storyboard.TargetName="Header"/>
<DoubleAnimation Duration="0" To="0.3" Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity" Storyboard.TargetName="Content"/>
</Storyboard>
</VisualState>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<Grid Margin="12,5,12,0">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<ContentControl x:Name="Header" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding HeaderTemplate}" Content="{TemplateBinding Header}" Foreground="{StaticResource PhoneSubtleBrush}" FontSize="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeNormal}" FontFamily="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilyNormal}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" IsTabStop="False" Margin="-1,0,0,0" Opacity="{TemplateBinding Opacity}" VerticalAlignment="Bottom"/>
<ContentControl x:Name="Content" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" IsTabStop="False" Margin="-1,1,0,-7" Opacity="{TemplateBinding Opacity}" Grid.Row="1" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>
<toolkitPrimitives:ToggleSwitchButton x:Name="Switch" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" Grid.Column="1" Margin="-22,-29,-24,-28" Opacity="{TemplateBinding Opacity}" Grid.RowSpan="2" SwitchForeground="{TemplateBinding SwitchForeground}" VerticalAlignment="Bottom"/>
</Grid>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
To assign this style i use the following code:
var style = App.Current.Resources["ToggleSwitchWithMargin"] as System.Windows.Style;
Control.Style = style;
But once the render runs i get the following exception______
Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))
Is this the work way to assign styles?
