Universal apps TextBlockButtonStyle

Question

I am moving my WinRT 8.1 page to the shared project (universal app). Yet the style "TextBlockButtonStyle" gives an exception in the WP8.1 app. Is it not available for the WP8.1? If not, is there a list that gives a clue what's common style and what's not?

Thanks,

Zhao Min

Just add the Style in yourself.

In App.xaml

Now you can just do

<Button Style="{StaticResource TextBlockButtonStyle}" Content="Button 1" Height="200" Width="200"></Button>`

Remember it will be in the "Local Resources" instead of the System Resources
