How to get the background in setter?

Question

how to get the background of a control in the setter. Eg. How to the get the Background of TextBox in the Setter?

 <Setter TargetName="Border" Property="Background" Value="{TemplateBinding Background}"/>

This statement will give an error "Expression type is note valid style value". Is there any way to get the background property in the setter?

Try,

<Style TargetType={x:Type TextBox}>
  <Setter Property="Background" Value="Azure" />
</Style>

Is this what you are trying ??
