What error?

"Type 'UIElement.Control' was not found."

And when trying only 'UIElement' instead it
"Property 'Margin' was not found in type 'UIElement'."

Try this:

<Style TargetType="Control">
	<Setter Property="Margin">
	    Value="10" />
	</Setter>
</Style>

or this:

<Style TargetType="{x:Type Control}">
	<Setter Property="Margin">
		Value="10" />
	</Setter>
</style>

The problem is that Control is not under UIElement. UIElement is another class and does not contain a Margin property.

I tested your code but dont appear result on the window controls!

That is probably because you have to be specific. In other words, you need to set margin on particular controls (ie TextBox, TextBlock, etc). I have never seen anybody attmept to set properties for Control, or any of the other elements that are not concrete.

Ok, allright! In fact, I have some 'Button', 'TextBlock' and 'TextBox' on the my window and I want set 'Margin' property (because margin and etc is common property between them) to controls on window in XAML code like to this code:
Foreach(controls item in this.content.controls)
{
item.margin = 10;
}
