Set the foreground color for all text boxes in a grid in one place in XAML (Silverlight, WP)

Let's say we have a construction like this:

<Grid>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition />
        <ColumnDefinition />
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition />
        <RowDefinition />
        <RowDefinition />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>

    <TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" />
    <TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" />

    <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" />
    <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" />

    <TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" />
    <TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" />
</Grid>

How can I set the foreground color for all text boxes in a grid as one parameter?
Something similar to

<Grid Color="Red">
     ...
</Grid>

You can add resources to the grid that make all of the textBlock's front borders red.



<Grid>
    <Grid.Resources>
        <Style TargetType="TextBlock">
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Red"/>
        </Style>
    </Grid.Resources>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition />
        <ColumnDefinition />
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition />
        <RowDefinition />
        <RowDefinition />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>

    <TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" >Good show</TextBlock>
    <TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" >Now the Foreground is red</TextBlock>

    <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" />
    <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" />

    <TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" />
    <TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" />
</Grid>

As an alternative to @ Onosa's answer - Foreground

is one of those dependency properties that inherit from the visual tree. This way you can also wrap your Grid in any subclass Control

, for example ContentControl

:



<ContentControl Foreground="Red">
    <Grid>
        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition />
            <ColumnDefinition />
        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition />
            <RowDefinition />
            <RowDefinition />
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>

        <TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" />
        <TextBlock Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" />

        <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" />
        <TextBlock Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" />

        <TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" />
        <TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" />
    </Grid>
</ContentControl>
