Do custom controls in Silverlight 4 need to be in separate DLL's?

I am creating a number of custom controls for a Silverlight 4 project. I have successfully created one control and am wondering if I can define more in the same project and then have all the controls bundled into one .DLL.

Right now, I have the standard files for the first control:

/Resources/icon.png
/themes/generic.xaml 
/CustomControl1.cs
/CustomControl1EventArgs

I am thinking 开发者_StackOverflow社区it's not possible, as there can only be one "generic.xaml".

Thanks,

Yes you can create multiple controls in the same project, you simply have to place the all the default templates in a single /themes/generic.xaml file. Each controls template is identified by the TargetType. So your generic.xaml file would look something like:-

 <ResourceDictionary ... blah namespace stuff ...>

   <Style TargetType="local:CustomControl1">
     <Setter Property="Template">
       <Setter.Value>
         <ControlTemplate TargetType="local:CustomControl1">
           <!-- Template for Custom control 1 -->

          </ControlTemplate>
       </Setter.Value>
     </Setter>
   </Style>

   <Style TargetType="local:CustomControl2">
     <Setter Property="Template">
       <Setter.Value>
         <ControlTemplate TargetType="local:CustomControl2">
           <!-- Template for Custom control 2 -->

          </ControlTemplate>
       </Setter.Value>
     </Setter>
   </Style>

   <!-- and so on -->

</ResourceDictionary>

The Silverlight Toolkit chapies do have a neat tool which allows you to place each control template in its own file. The tool dynamically constructs the generic.xaml from the contents of all these files. I really wish they'd blog about it so we could find out how to use it ourselves. Hello any of you Msofties lurky listening in?
