    UserControl (Composition):

    • Composes multiple existing controls
      into a reusable “group”
    • Consists of a XAML and a code behind
      file
    • Cannot be styled/templated
    • Derives from UserControl

    CustomControl (Extending an existing control)

    • Extends an existing control with
      additional features
    • Consists of a code file and a default
      style in Themes/Generic.xaml
    • Can be styled/templated
    • The best approach to build a control
      library
