#267 – Think Twice Before You Subclass a Control
April 5, 2011 Leave a comment
In Windows Forms, when you wanted behavior in a control beyond what the standard controls provided, you’d subclass a specific control, subclass the Control class, or create a custom UserControl.
In WPF, you often don’t need to subclass a control or create a custom UserControl. Through the use of styles and templates, you can generally customize the behavior of an existing control to meet the needs of your application.
