Creating Lookless Controls for WPF and Silverlight

This screencast is a continuation of a previous screencast entitled “Skins for WPF and Silverlight”. In this session we go beyond skinning built-in controls and learn what’s required to create our own skinnable (or ‘lookless’) controls.

This screencast assumes existing knowledge about styles and templates, so if you aren’t up to speed on those topics please consider watching the skinning screencast first.

The sample demonstrated in this screencast can be downloaded here.

This is a great presentation to distinguish from User Control to Custom Control

I am confused on how to make a Custom Control from User Control. Do I first make a User Control with all the limited functionalities, and then, make the Custom Control from that to add those data binding and style functionalities?

 

Is there a screencast for that? Thank you.
