Creating Adorner Control in WPF

I'm Using VB.Net 2012 With WPF

Code

Public Class UserControl1
Inherits Adorner

Sub New(AdornedElement As UIElement)
    MyBase.New(AdornedElement)
    'Err Found Here
End Sub

Private Sub Button_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)

End Sub
End Class

Error : Base class 'System.Windows.Controls.UserControl' specified for class 'UserControl1' cannot be different from the base class 'System.Windows.Documents.Adorner' of one of its other partial types.

please help

. . . . Edit : Added XAML Code of UserControl

<UserControl x:Class="UserControl1"
         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" 
         mc:Ignorable="d" 
         d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300">
<Grid>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>


    <TextBlock Text=" This is Child Control " HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
    <Button Grid.Row="1" Content="Close Child Control " HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Click="Button_Click"/>
</Grid>
</UserControl>

Edit : Errs. add on Changing UserControl to Adorner

Error   6   Base class 'System.Windows.Controls.UserControl' specified for class 'UserControl1' cannot be different from the base class 'System.Windows.Documents.Adorner' of one of its other partial types.

As @Robert has suggested.

You have to change the tag in XAML when you change the inheritance in code behind of the respective XAML file.

You need to change as below in XAML: (see the very first tag and last tags)

<Adorner x:Class="UserControl1"
         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" 
         mc:Ignorable="d" 
         d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300">
<Grid>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>


    <TextBlock Text=" This is Child Control " HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
    <Button Grid.Row="1" Content="Close Child Control " HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Click="Button_Click"/>
</Grid>
</Adorner>

Update

Adorner is an abstract class so you can't directly use it as is, instead you have to create derived class outside this and then derive the UserControl from your local Adorner class OR use any existing derived Adorner class.

Check this codeproject article on this topic.

Look at the XAML for your control - it will say the base class is UserControl. Change that to Adorner to be consistent with your VB code.
