WPF - Content Presenter - wpf

Question

I have created a resource dictionary for Button style and assigned it to a Button. The style appears in the button but I am not able to get the button text displayed. I have tried adding a content presenter but it didn't work. Please help.
<Button x:Name ="Submit" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="346,186,0,0"
VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75" Style="{DynamicResource
ResourceKey=ButtonStyle}" Height="50">
<ContentPresenter Name="MyContent">
<ContentPresenter.Content>
<Label>Click Me</Label>
</ContentPresenter.Content>
</ContentPresenter>
</Button>
The style for button is as follows..It is created using Blend..
<Style x:Key="ButtonStyle" TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{StaticResource ButtonFocusVisual}"/>
<Setter Property="Background" Value="{StaticResource ButtonNormalBackground}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource ButtonNormalBorder}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.ControlTextBrushKey}}"/>
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="1"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Grid>
<Rectangle Margin="0,8,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Stroke="#FF000000" RadiusX="23.489" RadiusY="23.489">
<Rectangle.Fill>
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
<GradientStop Color="#FF000000" Offset="0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FFDE9090" Offset="1"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Rectangle.Fill>
</Rectangle>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsKeyboardFocused" Value="true"/>
<Trigger Property="ToggleButton.IsChecked" Value="true"/>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="false">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#ADADAD"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
I also tried Button.Content> Click Button.Content> but not working.. Please suggest

Your button's ControlTemplate in Style missing a ContentPresenter to render the Content.
Add a ContentPresenter to the button's ControlTemplate. The resulting XAML for ControlTemplate would look like:
<ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
<Grid>
<Rectangle Margin="0,8,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Stroke="#FF000000" RadiusX="23.489" RadiusY="23.489">
<Rectangle.Fill>
<LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="0.5,1" StartPoint="0.5,0">
<GradientStop Color="#FF000000" Offset="0"/>
<GradientStop Color="#FFDE9090" Offset="1"/>
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Rectangle.Fill>
</Rectangle>
<ContentPresenter VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>
</Grid>
<ControlTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsKeyboardFocused" Value="true"/>
<Trigger Property="ToggleButton.IsChecked" Value="true"/>
<Trigger Property="IsEnabled" Value="false">
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#ADADAD"/>
</Trigger>
</ControlTemplate.Triggers>
</ControlTemplate>
Also, like I said in my comment, you do not need a ContentPresenter in the XAML for Button itself. You could simply have your content between and tags.
<Button
x:Name="Submit"
Width="75"
Height="50"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Margin="346,186,0,0"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
Style="{DynamicResource ResourceKey=ButtonStyle}">
Click Me
</Button>
