I believe that ApplicationBar properties cannot use Binding
or style as you try, as this is not a silverlight control. Although you can put the whole
application bar as a resource. In this way
<shell:ApplicationBar x:Key="MyAppBar" IsVisible="True" BackgroundColor="#006699"> <shell:ApplicationBarIconButton IconUri="/Images/image.png" Text="image" IsEnabled="True"/> </shell:ApplicationBar>
EDIT: Or you can just put this in a resource if you want to change the color of your application bar.
<shell:ApplicationBar x:Key="MyAppBar" IsVisible="True" BackgroundColor="#006699"> </shell:ApplicationBar>
And add the buttons from the code behind. although, I have not come across a scenario where this will help.
