What's Wrong With This Style?

[Kevin Marois]

I'm creating a theme with a base style for all controls:

<FontFamily x:Key="Font.Family.Default">Segoe UI</FontFamily>
<sys:Double x:Key="Font.Size.Header1">18</sys:Double>
<sys:Double x:Key="Font.Size.Header2">16</sys:Double>
<sys:Double x:Key="Font.Size.Header3">14</sys:Double>
<sys:Double x:Key="Font.Size.Normal">12</sys:Double>

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="TextBlock.Static.Background" Color="Transparent"/>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="TextBlock.Static.Foreground" Color="DarkGray"/>

<Style x:Key="ControlBase" TargetType="{x:Type Control}">

<Setter Property="Control.FontSize" Value="{StaticResource Font.Size.Normal}"/>
<Setter Property="Control.FontFamily" Value="{StaticResource Font.Family.Default}"/>
<Setter Property="Control.HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="Control.VerticalAlignment" Value="Center"/>

</Style>

<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBlock}"
BasedOn="{StaticResource ControlBase}">

<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource TextBlock.Static.Background}"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource TextBlock.Static.Foreground}"/>

</Style>

I'm trying to use it like this:

<TextBlock Grid.Row="0"
Grid.Column="0"
Text="Test"
Margin="22,0,0,0"/>

The designer wont load, and when I run it I get

System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException
Message='Initialization of 'System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock' threw an exception.' Line number '56' and line position '20'.

Inner Exception 1:
InvalidOperationException: Can only base on a Style with target type that is base type 'TextBlock'.

What's wrong here??

If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

TextBlock doesn't inherit from class Control.
