In WPF, custom controls should be look-less. That means, that business logic and UI are strongly separated. When you create a control, you can provide a default template for the control, but anyone who uses the control can override it without touching the business logic.
using System;
using System.Windows;
using System.Data;
using System.Xml;
using System.Configuration;

namespace WindowsApplication
{
	/// <summary>
	/// Interaction logic for MyApp.xaml
	/// </summary>

	public partial class MyApp : Application
	{

	}
}

Hi, my name is Karin Huber. Since 1998 I have been working as a developer and IT consultant focusing on building database oriented web applications. In 2007 my friend Rainer and I decided that we want to build a business based on COTS (component off-the-shelf) software. As a result we founded "software architects".

These days we are offering our first version of the time tracking software called 'time cockpit'. You can find more information at www.timecockpit.com.
