Using a class that inherits System.Windows.Controls.Control inside XAML

I have wpf application with the following xaml as the mainwindow

<Window x:Class="Video_Editor.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>

</Grid>
</Window>

I also have a class that inherits 'Control' called 'MyControl'. How do I make it possible to put an instance of that MyControl inside the xaml.

Something like this

<Grid>
  <MyControl/>
</Grid>

You need to setup the XAML namespace mapping:

<Window x:Class="Video_Editor.MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:YourNamespaceContainingMyControl"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid>
        <local:MyControl />
    </Grid>
</Window>

Note that, if the control is in a different assembly (DLL), you'll need to use xmlns:local="clr-namespace:YourNamespaceContainingMyControl;assembly=YourLibrary".
