  3. User Controls • Control made up of other controls • Building a user control is very similar to building a form • Enables consolidation of common UI • User control can only be used in the project where it’s defined. • If you want a library of controls that you can reuse, then you need to build a custom control. • One reference: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/2016/Writing-your-Custom-Control-step-by-step

  4. User Control • Add a user control to the project. • In Tools->Option->Windows Forms Designer: • Set Automatically Populate Toolbox to true. • Look for the user control in the toolbox. • Add it to the form. • Demo

  5. Incorporating WPF Controls • WinForms & WPF interoperability. • You can use WPF controls in WinForms. • You can use WinForm controls in WPF apps. • This is done through ElementHost

  6. WPF • Windows Presentation Foundation • Advantage of WPF • Greater degree of control over layout and appearance with WPF. • UI, data binding and events can be specified in a XML file (XAML) • Same XAML specification can be used for Windows Apps and Web Apps. • Richer UI content support for videos, 3D, animation, etc. • Walk through tutorial: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms752299.aspx

  7. WPF Control Demo • Create a Windows Forms Project • Add a WPF User Control project in the same solution. • Build the WPF user control using designer & XAML editor • Build the project. • Add a ElementHost to the Windows Form and select the WPF user control just created.
