xaml code not working - c# - xaml

Question

I have following code:
<DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type abc}">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<CheckBox Margin="0,0,3,0" x:Name="CheckBox">
<CheckBox.IsChecked>
<Binding Path="IsSelected"
Mode="TwoWay">
<Binding.RelativeSource>
<RelativeSource Mode="Template" />
</Binding.RelativeSource>
</Binding>
</CheckBox.IsChecked>
</CheckBox>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding}"
Margin="0,0,10,5" />
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Channel}"
Margin="7,0,0,0"
Visibility="{Binding Path=IsChannelVisible,ElementName=View, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibile}}" />
</StackPanel>
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Valid}" Value="true">
<Setter TargetName="CheckBox" Property="Foreground" Value="#000000"/>
</DataTrigger>
<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding Valid}" Value="false">
<Setter TargetName="CheckBox" Property="Foreground" Value="#999999"/>
</DataTrigger>
</DataTemplate.Triggers>
</DataTemplate>
What i am trying to achieve is change the color of the the checkbox text. But above code is not working. Can anyone please help me with this?
Tried code from Tilak:
<ControlTemplate x:Key="Template"
TargetType="ListViewItem">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
<CheckBox Margin="7,0,0,0" Foreground={Binding Valid, Converter={StaticResource ValidToColorConverter}}
x:Name="CheckBox">
<CheckBox.IsChecked>
<Binding Path="IsSelected"
Mode="TwoWay">
<Binding.RelativeSource>
<RelativeSource Mode="Parent" />
</Binding.RelativeSource>
</Binding>
</CheckBox.IsChecked>
</CheckBox>
<ContentPresenter />
<DataTemplate.CheckBox>
<Intellivu:ValidToColorConverter x:Key="ValidToColorConverter" />
</DataTemplate.CheckBox>
</StackPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
This is not working? Am i doing something wrong?

You can use converter and bind to Foreground property directly.
Following following steps for it
Create ValidToColorConverter
public class ValidToColorConverter : IValueConverter
{
// This converts the DateTime object to the string to display.
public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter,
System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
bool valid = value as bool;
return valid ? Colors.Black : new SolidColorBrush(Colors.FromArgb(255,99,99,99));
}
// No need to implement converting back on a one-way binding
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType,
object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
Add ValidToColorConverter as static resource in the resources corresponding to control
<DataTemplate.Resources>
<local:ValidToColorConverter x:Key="ValidToColorConverter" />
</DataTemplate.Resources>
Note - local should be added into page namespaces(corresponding to namespace where converter is defined)
Refer to Converter in the Checkbox
<CheckBox Margin="0,0,3,0" Foreground={Binding Valid, Converter={StaticResource ValidToColorConverter}} x:Name="CheckBox">
