A User Control can be used for a variety of purposes, but I'd like to know specifically a simple example of how to create a User Control / p>

For example a NumericUpDown :

CreatedfromthisXAML:

<UserControlx:Class="TCC_2.Templates.NumericUpDown1"
             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" 
             xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" 
             xmlns:local="clr-namespace:TCC_2.Templates"
             mc:Ignorable="d" 
             d:DesignHeight="40" d:DesignWidth="200">
    <Grid x:Name="Grid1" MouseWheel="Grid_MouseWheel">

            <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <RowDefinition Height="0.5*"/>
                <RowDefinition Height="0.5*" />
            </Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="0.8*"/>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="0.2*"/>
            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

        <TextBox x:Name="txtValue" DataObject.Pasting="TextBoxPasting" Grid.Column="0" BorderThickness="0" VerticalContentAlignment="Center"  Text="0" FontSize="18" Grid.RowSpan="2" Foreground="#444" PreviewTextInput="txtValue_PreviewTextInput" TextChanged="txtValue_TextChanged" />

        <Button x:Name="btnIncrease" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" Foreground="#444" FontSize="10" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" Background="#ccc" Content="▲"  BorderThickness="0" Cursor="Hand" Click="btnIncrease_Click"  />

        <Button x:Name="btnDecrease" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Foreground="DarkGray" FontSize="10" VerticalContentAlignment="Top" Content="▼" BorderThickness="0" Cursor="Hand" Height="20"  Click="btnDecrease_Click" />
        </Grid>
</UserControl>

With these primary methods in C # :

    private void btnIncrease_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        value++;
        txtValue.Text = value.ToString();
        btnDecrease.Foreground = new System.Windows.Media.SolidColorBrush(color);
        btnDecrease.IsEnabled = true;
    } 

    private void btnDecrease_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (value > 0)
        {
            if (value == 1)
            {
                btnDecrease.Foreground = Brushes.DarkGray;
                btnDecrease.IsEnabled = false;
            }
            value--;
            txtValue.Text = value.ToString();
        }
    }

The question is ... let's say I put this Control on a XAML page ... How do I get the text from within the TextBox txtValue ?

Calling in the page code for example " NumericUpDown1.Text "

I already tried to use this Binding in the Text property of TextBox:

But on page when calling this property it does not exist.

So how do I get this value?

To endow a UserControl with properties that can be accessed via C # code or XAML should implement them as DependencyProperty .

The implementation consists of the property ( CLR property ) that wants to access and a property (an instance of type DependencyProperty ) resulting from its registration in the "WPF property system ".

In the present case declare the property as follows:

public int Value
{
    get { return (int)this.GetValue(StateProperty); }
    set { this.SetValue(StateProperty, value); } 
}

and DependencyProperty like this:

public static readonly DependencyProperty ValueProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
    "Value", typeof(int), typeof(NumericUpDown1),new PropertyMetadata(0));
