How to: Create custom view in UWP -> ControlTemplate
1. In Solution Explorer, go to "Add New Item" and select "Templated Control"
2. There will be a file Themes/Generic.xaml, which contains the style of your new control templated
3. To set the custom view property, use the `TemplateBinding` in xaml, and define the `DependencyProperty` in your C#
XAML:
```
<Style TargetType="local:TagView">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="local:TagView">
<Border
Background="LightGray"
CornerRadius="3"
Padding="4"
Margin="4,0">
<TextBlock FontSize="12" Text="{TemplateBinding TagName}" />
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
```
C#:
```
public sealed class TagView : Control
{
#region Dependency Property Registrations
public static readonly DependencyProperty TagNameProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("TagName", typeof(string), typeof(TagView), new PropertyMetadata(string.Empty));
#endregion
public TagView()
{
this.DefaultStyleKey = typeof(TagView);
}
#region Properties
public string TagName
{
get => (string)GetValue(TagNameProperty);
set => SetValue(TagNameProperty, value);
}
#endregion
}
```
