Yes, when I use this as

created
public class MyTextBlock : Control

registered as xmlns:ctrl="..."

and declared it as
<ctrl:MyTextBlock
Text="My Text"/>

It's not working. And where to add style xaml code (generic.xaml) ? in the same control library project ? if so added in the control library, i am I doing anything wrong?

I have added the following code..

Step 1:-
---------------
public class MyTextBlock:Control
{
public string Text
{
get { return (string)GetValue(TextProperty); }
set { SetValue(TextProperty, value); }
}

public static readonly DependencyProperty TextProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("Text", typeof(string), typeof(MyTextBlock), null);


public MyTextBlock()
{
DefaultStyleKey = typeof(MyTextBlock);
}

TextBlock innerTB;
public override void OnApplyTemplate()
{
innerTB = GetTemplateChild("textblock1") as TextBlock;
}

// set layout logic by handling MeasureOverride/ArrangeOverride.
protected override Size ArrangeOverride(Size finalSize)
{
return base.ArrangeOverride(finalSize);
}
protected override Size MeasureOverride(Size availableSize)
{
return base.MeasureOverride(availableSize);
}
}

Step2:-
------------
generic.xaml
----------------

<Style TargetType="my:MyTextBlock">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="my:MyTextBlock">
<TextBlock Name="textblock1"
Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}"
FontSize="{TemplateBinding FontSize}"
Text="{TemplateBinding Text}"
/>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>


But When I keep the control in MainPage as

<my:MyTextBlock Text="My Text"/>

MyTextBlock is not visible in the browser. What is the problem I don't know.

We have created dependency property, template.... still we have this problem.
please help me. If possible can anyone test and if worked please attach the zip file.
