Prevent inheritance from UserControl

Question

I have a wormControl class, which should inherit from MyUserControl, but when building the solution, the wormControl is being inherited from UserControl. Anyway, I want it to inherit from MyUserControl. How to implement it?

Here is my XAML file for UserControl:

<UserControl
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:System="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
mc:Ignorable="d"
x:Class="FishGameAnimations.wormControl"
d:DesignWidth="575" d:DesignHeight="339">
/* ...other stuff... */
</UserControl>

Inheritance is dealt with in the code behind your wormControl. Please post this code and clarify your question a bit. — Piotr Justyna, Aug 17 '12 at 09:49

As it was said your base control has to be without XAML. All your design should be built from code behind. Look in the link given by Rafal. An example how to set base class for control

<Controls:MyUserControl x:Class="Termo.Win.Controls.ChildControl"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:Controls="clr-namespace:Namespace.MyUserControl">
