Create a Lync Controls application using either the Microsoft Silverlight or Windows Presentation Foundation template. For more information, see the topic Walkthrough: Presence Hello World .

In the XAML pane, add the XAML text to create a ContactList control. Add a style to set the Background and FontFamily properties on the control. See the following code example.

	Copy Code
<Grid> <Grid.Resources> <Style x:Key="MyContactListStyle" TargetType="Controls:ContactList"> <Setter Property="Background" Value="AliceBlue"/> <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Courier New"/> </Style> </Grid.Resources> <Controls:ContactList Style="{StaticResource MyContactListStyle}"/> </Grid>

Run the project. If the property values described in the previous step are in place, see that the control background color is now blue, and the font family is now Courier New.
