XAML Margin in resources

问题:

How do I define XAML margin in Windows universal app resources? I tried to define it as

<Thickness x:Key="MyMargin" Left="10" Top="20" Right="10" Bottom="20" />

by this does not compile, I get

XamlCompiler error WMC0100: XAML Thickness type cannot be constructed. In order to to be constructed in XAML, a type cannot be abstract, interface, nested, generic or a struct, and must have a public default constructor

回答1:

The syntax for Windows XAML is as follows:

<Thickness x:Key="myMargin">10,20,10,20</Thickness>

which could be simplified to:

<Thickness x:Key="myMargin">10,20</Thickness>

I had it working by binding it to a String:

<x:String  x:Key="MarginLeftPage" >120,0,0,0</x:String>
[...]
Grid Margin="{StaticResource MarginLeftPage}">
