How to make a plain text-only Silverlight button?

Question

I simply want a button with no background or anything other than plain text. I have done the following and the button does not show up at all:

<UserControl.Resources>
    <ControlTemplate x:Key="linkButtons" TargetType="Button">
        <TextBlock Foreground="White" FontSize="28" FontFamily="Verdana" Padding="10"></TextBlock>
    </ControlTemplate>
</UserControl.Resources>


<Button Template="{StaticResource linkButtons}" Content="Hello World!"/>

Answer 1

This is because the TextBlock inside the Control template does not have a template binding. Make an attribute like this:

<TextBlock Foreground="White" FontSize="28" FontFamily="Verdana" Padding="10" Text="{TemplateBinding Content}" />

Not sure if thats the correct syntax, but thats the concept.
