What is the difference between the following TargetType specifications?
1.
<Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}" ...
2.
<Style TargetType="Button" ...
It seems the both works fine.
In the first example, the
Typemarkup extension creates an instance ofTypespecified by the given string, i.e.Button.In the second example, the type converter associated with the
TargetTypeproperty converts the string"Button"into the requiredType.Both give exactly the same result. Notably, in Silverlight the
Typemarkup extension does not exist so (2) is only possible.
