Please note the CSS and the WPF are two different technologies. We cannot say we could use the same code in both. But as we knoe, if you have understood CSS and WPF both, we could try to convert one theme from CSS to WPF. As Cornel shared, these links can help you to learn the style in WPF. Of couse, MSDN provides the official document Style: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms745683.aspx

I also recommend you to buy some books about WPf to learn it, such as [Programming WPF], [WPF 4 Unleashed] etc.

Sincerely,
