Question

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 ..... />

Make sure there is an namespace definition  xmlns  for the namespace your control belong to    xmlns myControls  clr-namespace YourCustomNamespace Controls assembly YourAssemblyName       lt myControls thecontrol  gt

You probably need to add the namespace    lt Window x Class  UserControlTest Window1      xmlns  http   schemas microsoft com winfx 2006 xaml presentation      xmlns x  http   schemas microsoft com winfx 2006 xaml      xmlns local  clr-namespace UserControlTest      Title  User Control Test  Height  300  Width  300  gt       lt local UserControl1   gt   lt  Window gt
