Silverlight 4 now allows you to define “implicit styles” for
your applications. This allows you to style controls by type (for
example: have a default look for all buttons) and avoid you having to
explicitly reference styles from each control.
In addition to honoring implicit styles on the
designer-surface, VS 2010 also now allows you to right click on any control (or
on one of it properties) and choose the “Go to Value Definition…” context menu
to jump to the XAML where the style is defined, and from there you can easily
navigate onward to any referenced resources. This makes it much easier to
figure out questions like “why is my button red?”:
