how to have many wpf custom controls in the same library? -

i have wpf custom control project in want have many custom controls. default, vs2015 cummunity creates theme folder generic.xaml file , .cs file interaction logic.

i want have many user controls, have tried create mycontrol1 folder, inside folder, have created theme folder , add new item, wpf custom control. doesn't create generic.xaml control. copy root folder default generic.xaml , create style, when use control in wpf application, don't see control.

i have seen post: custom control lib multiple controls , generic.xaml don't understand solution.

i have problem, in mycontrol1.generic.xaml y have code:

<resourcedictionary     xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"     xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"     xmlns:local="clr-namespace:customcontrols.calendario2">       <style targettype="{x:type local:calendariomes2}">         <setter property="template">             <setter.value>                 <controltemplate targettype="{x:type local:calendariomes2}">                     <border background="{templatebinding background}"                             borderbrush="{templatebinding borderbrush}"                             borderthickness="{templatebinding borderthickness}">                          <grid>                             <textbox text="prueba"/>                             <label content="prueba"/>                         </grid>                      </border>                 </controltemplate>             </setter.value>         </setter>     </style> </resourcedictionary> 

but error in line:

<style targettype="{x:type local:calendariomes2}"> 

that not possible create type text local:calendariomes2.

if use code in library 1 custom control , code in generic.xaml file, works.

so, in sumary, know how have library many custom controls.

thanks.

i have found cleanest way involves creating merged dictionary. customcontrol's tend inherit base control, group them listview, textbox, etc.

generic.xaml
