    Hi, The above trick for sharing XAML across both platforms won't work for TabControl. Do you know of any way around this? It would be very useful. Thanks aaadrian

    aaadrian, TabControl/TabItem aren't sealed, so the first (easy) version of the trick works fine for me. I just created a new solution which shares MainPage.xaml across Silverlight and WPF. Here's the code. MainPage.xaml (shared): <UserControl x:Class="XamlSharedTabControlSL.MainPage"    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"    xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls"    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:XamlSharedTabControlSL">    <Grid>        <local:TabControl>            <local:TabItem Header="Header 1" Content="Item 1"/>            <local:TabItem Header="Header 2" Content="Item 2"/>        </local:TabControl>    </Grid> </UserControl> MainPage.xaml.cs (shared): using System.Windows.Controls; namespace XamlSharedTabControlSL {    public partial class MainPage : UserControl    {        public MainPage()        {            InitializeComponent();        }    }    public class TabControl : System.Windows.Controls.TabControl    {    }    public class TabItem : System.Windows.Controls.TabItem    {    } } Window1.xaml (WPF): <Window x:Class="XamlSharedTabControlWPF.Window1"    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:XamlSharedTabControlSL">    <Grid>        <local:MainPage/>    </Grid> </Window> Hope this helps!
