I've created an WPF Project. Since the project has become big enough for me to maintain I wish to break its code into several Shared Projects.

So can I add/create Shared Project for C# & WPF?

I'm asking this since I cannot find any template in New Projects for creating Shared Project for C# & WPF

Thanks in Advance

You just need to create new projects in the same solution, and split the source files into the parts that you want. But you must make sure that each part contains all the relevant sources.

as suggested by you I did and seperated a group of code along with XALM files in shared project but files in shared project cannot access custome controls in main project

That's part of the idea: shared controls should be moved to a second project and then referenced from there by any project that needs them.
From what you say, the controls are still in the main project, which is the wrong place.

Additionally, in order to be accessible outside the current project / assembly, they need to be declared as public (or possibly protected / protected internal: Access Modifiers - C# Programming Guide | Microsoft Docs[^]
