Abstract
When designing user interfaces in any technology, you ideally want to encapsulate the look and behavior of commonly used user interface elements into reusable components that you can use elsewhere in your application, or even in other applications. Creating custom controls also reduces the amount of code required in the code-behind, simplifies the XAML in your views, and helps maintain consistency in your user interface.
