Question

I need all my user controls to have some similar functionality. So my user control it is as:

using System.Windows.Controls;


namespace WpfApplication26
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for UserControl1.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
    {
        public UserControl1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }
}

ok now I want to make that control inherit from a base class where I have all my functionality as a result I now have something like:

I posted a picture to show you guys the error that I am getting. UserControl1 should be able to inherit from DraggableControl Since DraggableControl inherits from UserControl. I don’t understand why visual studio does not let me compile that code.

It’s probably because you didn’t change the XAML declaration accordingly.

Answers to this question may help.

However, it looks like you can’t derive from a class that has XAML 🙁
