Silverlight 3 Quick Tip #10: Styling Improvements

Silverlight 3 bring long-awaited improvements in styling mechanism: “BasedOn” mechanism, Merged Resource Dictionaries and eliminates “write once” style setting behavior. Let’s see those features. BasedOn Styles can be “derived” from one another. Perfect for cascading/inheriting styles.
