Changing content of button removes style WPF

Changing the content image of a button makes it ignore any previously defined layout properties.

What I suspect is the fact that upon changing this.Content in the Button click event, it modifies:

<Button>
     Everything found between these tags.
</Button>

And as my Style is inside those tags, it overrides it.

Here is the code for record:

private void ChangeImageFile(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog();
        ofd.Filter = "Image Files|*.png;*.jpeg;*.tiff;*.gif;*.bmp;*.jpg";
        ofd.FilterIndex = 1;
        ofd.Multiselect = false;
        bool? ok = ofd.ShowDialog();
        if(ok == true)
        {
            Image loaded = new Image();
            loaded.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(ofd.FileName));
            loaded.Height = 100;
            this.Content = loaded;
        }
    }

 

<Button x:Name="BookCover" Click="ChangeImageFile">
            <Button.Content>
                <Image Source="Images/NewBook.png"/>
            </Button.Content>
            <Button.Style>
                <Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
                    ... LONG STYLE ...
                </Style>
            </Button.Style>
        </Button>

When you're using this.Content, this refers to the current window and not to the button. You either need to access the button by Name or cast the sender.

By Name:

BookCover.Content = loaded;

Cast the sender:

Button btn = (sender as Button);
if(btn != null)
   btn.Content = loaded;
