The following WPF UserControl called DataTypeWholeNumber which works.
Now I want to make a UserControl called DataTypeDateTime and DataTypeEmail, etc.
Many of the Dependency Properties will be shared by all these controls and therefore I want to put their common methods into a BaseDataType and have each of these UserControls inherit from this base type.
However, when I do that, I get the error: Partial Declaration may not have different base classes.
So how can I implement inheritance with UserControls so shared functionality is all in the base class?
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
namespace TestDependencyProperty827.DataTypes
{
public partial class DataTypeWholeNumber : BaseDataType
{
public DataTypeWholeNumber()
{
InitializeComponent();
DataContext = this;
//defaults
TheWidth = 200;
}
public string TheLabel
{
get
{
return (string)GetValue(TheLabelProperty);
}
set
{
SetValue(TheLabelProperty, value);
}
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty TheLabelProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("TheLabel", typeof(string), typeof(BaseDataType),
new FrameworkPropertyMetadata());
public string TheContent
{
get
{
return (string)GetValue(TheContentProperty);
}
set
{
SetValue(TheContentProperty, value);
}
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty TheContentProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("TheContent", typeof(string), typeof(BaseDataType),
new FrameworkPropertyMetadata());
public int TheWidth
{
get
{
return (int)GetValue(TheWidthProperty);
}
set
{
SetValue(TheWidthProperty, value);
}
}
public static readonly DependencyProperty TheWidthProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("TheWidth", typeof(int), typeof(DataTypeWholeNumber),
new FrameworkPropertyMetadata());
}
}
