Hi all,
I have a requirement to develop lots of different controls which all include the same Arc.gis.client.map. There is also a feature layer and a graphics layer which will be common to all the different controls. Each control will then add on top of those base layers, having potentially its own graphics layers and/or heatmaplayers. I'd like to come up with a clean way of doing this, so that I don't have to copy and paste code around. I don't want to put the common stuff in all the different controls xaml and code. In the OO world, I'd use a baseclass, put all the common stuff in that and inherit from it, thereby getting the reuse I am after. However, in the Silverlight world (which I am fairly new to), I am not sure what the best approach is to achieve this. I've played around a bit with trying to create a base usercontrol which contains the common stuff and inherit from it, but its proving to be a pain because some stuff is in xaml and some in code. Could I achieve what I am wanting to do by creating a Custom Control which contains the common stuff?
Any ideas and suggestions welcome, thanks all.
Cheers
CC
