How to style a button through code - windows-phone-7

Question

I'm trying to give a style I made in blend to a button that generates in the code. I tried the following but it doesn't seem to work. I also can't find any solutions online.
Here is the code.
private void createBtn()
{
Button btn = new Button();
btn.Name = buttonName;
btn.Style = popUpStyle;
btn.Margin = new Thickness(20);
btn.Content = "Close";
btn.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(btn_Click);
btn.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Visible;
Canvas.Children.Add(btn);
}
And the xaml.
<Style x:Name="popUpStyle" TargetType="Button">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent"/>
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="{StaticResource PhoneForegroundBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{StaticResource PhoneForegroundBrush}"/>
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="{StaticResource PhoneBorderThickness}"/>
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{StaticResource PhoneFontFamilySemiBold}"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="{StaticResource PhoneFontSizeMediumLarge}"/>
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="10,3,10,5"/>
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate x:Name="popUpStyleCT" TargetType="Button">
<Grid Background="Transparent" Height="150" Width="200">
<VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<VisualStateGroup x:Name="CommonStates">
<VisualState x:Name="Normal"/>
<VisualState x:Name="MouseOver"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Pressed"/>
<VisualState x:Name="Disabled"/>
</VisualStateGroup>
</VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
<Rectangle Fill="#FFC2C2C2" Margin="0,15,0,0"/>
<Rectangle Fill="#FF313197" Height="15" Stroke="Black" VerticalAlignment="Top" Opacity="0.25"/>
<Rectangle Fill="#FFE20303" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Height="15" Stroke="Black" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="30" Opacity="0.25"/>
<TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Right" Height="15" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="X" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="14" FontSize="13.333" Margin="0,0,5,0"/>
<Rectangle Fill="#FF4D4A4A" Height="22" Margin="50,0,44,8" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Stroke="Black"/>
<Border x:Name="ButtonBackground" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" CornerRadius="0" Margin="0,12,0,34">
<ContentControl x:Name="ContentContainer" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}" Content="{TemplateBinding Content}" HorizontalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}" VerticalContentAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}" Margin="-3,2,73,0" Foreground="Black" FontSize="13.333" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Left"/>
</Border>
<TextBlock Height="15" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="Close" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" FontSize="13.333" Margin="85,0,81,12" Foreground="Black"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
