Where to find XAML markup for default WPF controls?

Question

Control template for existing controls in WPF

The deeper into WPF development I get the more I feel the need to customize controls to suit my needs. The problem is that I don't know where to find the baseline XAML to begin changing styles. Searching for example on Google "wpf style calendar" yields plenty of results where people have made a lot of modifications with what appears to be XAML used from the default style. I can't imagine it was all hand written.

I tried using Snoop but that only appears to tell me the hierarchy and not the XAML used.

Thank you.

You might try Style Snooper. It shows not exact XAML, but that's better than nothing.

I would not bother with external tools when the templates are available [on MSDN](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa970773.aspx) (`WPF Default Themes` link)... – H.B. Aug 30 '11 at 12:37
