Add a user control to a wpf window

I have a user control that I've created, however when I go to add it to the XAML in the window, Intellisense doesn't pick it up, and I can't figure out how to add it to the window.

Solution

  • You need to add a reference inside the window tag. Something like:

    xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:YourCustomNamespace.Controls;assembly=YourAssemblyName"

    (When you add xmlns:controls=" intellisense should kick in to make this bit easier)

    Then you can add the control with:

    <controls:CustomControlClassName ..... />
