    <p>I know this question is probably going to get alot of "Duplicate question" comments but i have yet to see one with an answer that works or isn't simply "Avoid it at all cost". But here goes, i have created a control lets call it "ControlA" in a project called "ControlA_Project" and i was intending to override some of its virtual methods in a control called "ControlB" that inherites "ControlA" in another project called "ControlB_Project" . The idea being that "ControlA" has save and load methods that i wish to change from saving and loading to file, too saving and loading to database ( and if later on another save and load type is required i can just override those methods again ). The problem i have is i originally had "ControlA" as a usercontrol and when i tried adding the new control with the overrides ("ControlB") into a window i would get this error:</p> <p>The component 'ControlB_Project.ControlB' does not have a resource identified by the URI '/ControlA_Project;component/usercontrols/ControlA.xaml'.</p> <p>Googling the error i came to the conclusion you could not inherit from a user control ( or for the sake of arguement it wasn't a good idea ). So i then changed the control from a user control to a custom control. this however then leads me to another problem, a template for a control doesnt link to the code behind (i.e On_Click) like it does in a user control and there is no easy way to simply override the behavier (as far as i am aware). I know i can retemplate ControlB by copy and pasting ControlAs template and changing a few lines but controlA has a large template as it is and making mutliple copies seems a waste of space. So put simply is there a correct way to change the behavier of a control in wpf?</p>

    1. COSorry to say but you are doing it so wrong. YOu are mixing LOGIC with UI. To quote you "The idea being that "ControlA" has save and load methods that i wish to change from saving and loading to file, too saving and loading to database". Your problem lies in a wrong architecture, and would not be existent if the UI would not do logic. WPF does not like this approach. Google MVVM or DataBinding for example.

    2. COI'm with Marino on this one. And if the storage strategy is the only thing differentiates Control A and B, why not pull it out into its own class and keep just one control? In ControlA_Project, you give it the file storage class, and in the B project, you give it a db implementation.

    3. COJust a suggestion -- WPF really shines when you let the UI layer focus on presenting data and you move the data and logic layer out of the UI and into dedicated classes. Like others have said, I would recommend looking at the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
