I can not apply the Style for custom UserControl

Question

I can not apply the Style for custom UserControl. Styles for TextBlock and MyControl are in the same dictionary. Style for TextBlock used without problems. But for MyControl style is not applied. Why?

// XAML
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MyControlNameSpace"

 <Grid>
   <TextBlock x:Name="text"  Style="{DynamicResource TextStyle}"/>
   <local:MyControl x:Name="control" Style="{DynamicResource ControlStyle}"/>
 </Grid>

// RESOURCE DICTIONARY
  <Style x:Key="ControlStyle" TargetType="{x:Type local:MyControl}">
        <Setter Property="Height" Value="Auto"/>
        <Setter Property="Width" Value="Auto"/>
        <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="White"/>
        <Setter Property="ColorMain" Value="Black"/>
        <Setter Property="Margin" Value="2"/>
  </Style>

  <Style x:Key="TextStyle" TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}">
       ....
       <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="32"/>
       ...
   </Style>

     //PART of CS           
     public partial class MyControl: UserControl   {    ....   }

You're definitely using concrete instances of MyControl? Not sub classes of it? — GazTheDestroyer, Nov 21 '13 at 12:36
Unless you are planning to make changes to your `Style`s at run time, you should [use `StaticResource` instead of `DynamicResource`](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/200839/whats-the-difference-between-staticresource-and-dynamicresource-in-wpf). — Sheridan, Nov 21 '13 at 12:36

Try changing

<Setter Property="ColorMain" Value="Black"/>

To

<Setter Property="Background" Value="Black"/>
