setting global values in xaml files

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I am trying to create some values which I can use multiple times throughout a XAML file. I have tried (after setting the sys namespace to clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib)

<sys:Double x:Key="value1">12</sys:Double>

and then using it like this:

CornerRadius="{StaticResource value1}"

but when I run the code I get an error saying " '12' is not a correct value for CornerRadius property" ... i've also tried setting the value to sys:Int32 but I got the same error.

I am doing this completely wrong? Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

You could do it this way:

<Window.Resources>
    <Style x:Key="BorderStyle" targetType="Border">
            </Style>
</Window.Resources>

and then just use the style.

Have a look, CornerRadius property is of type CornerRadius

Border.CornerRadius[^]

Corner radius is a structure, instead of double you create CornerRadius structure and assign it. it should work.

CornerRadius[^]
