Now we want to give the control to the user using our custom control so he/she can change text and image. For that go to MyUserControl1.xaml.cs and add a dependency property of type as of the 'text' property of textblock i.e string. In this case set metadata to 'null'.

Do the same for source of the image of the type 'ImageSource'

Now bind the respected properties with our dependency properties so they can be changed by the user

Now we can use our created custom control anywhere we like. And can change the text or image source to add any image

Like this we can give the desired control over our custom control to the user by binding them with our created dependency properties.
