I did this on a pure C# application but i want update my user gui with a nice interface....

Sorry for my grammar.

Thanks for you help.

Al, are you saying that you have an XML that will help your determine where to place buttons and other such things?

One thing you can do is drop a button in Blend, edit it and create a style, and once you have your style created, programmatically assign it to the elements you are adding via C#. An example of this can be seen here: http://blog.kirupa.com/?p=56

Well i wrote a simple code, but this not work. i'm doing some wrong?, the style don't change on that button.

My form only has two butons one button is from blend this button have the style name "SimpleButton", so on the second button (i drew this button on c# express edition)on the event click for this button i add the next code:

privatevoid button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Style lstyle = Window.Resources["SimpleButton"] asStyle;
((Button)sender).Style = lstyle;
}

But, the style for this button don't change after click event. :)

That is really strange. I have attached a simple project where I emulate your application based on your description.

Are you able to see where you and I are differing?
