Draw a user control in another document
After you create a user control, build the project to make the user control appear in the Assets panel so that you can select it and draw an instance of the user control on the artboard.

Test your project (F5) to see your user control in action.
To edit a user control after it is added to another document
If you created a user control document instead of a control library (.dll), you can enter editing mode for your control by using the shortcut menu.
Right-click the user control on the artboard or in the Objects and Timeline panel, and then click Edit Control. Microsoft Expression Blend opens the user control document for editing.
After you make your changes, save your file, and then switch back to the main document.
If you created a user control in a control library project, you have to edit the original control library project, and then rebuild the .dll.
