WPF UserControl和ContentControl的区别

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18781679/whats-the-difference-betwen-a-usercontrol-and-a-contentcontrol

1. UserControls set themselves as the source to RoutedEvents raised by elements within them. This means that when an element outside the UserControl receives a bubbled event, the Source is the UserControl, not the thing you interacted within the UserControl. In the philosophical sense of what you often hear about UserControls, "It's for aggregating existing controls", this makes sense as you want the parent container element to think of your UserControl as a single unit. For example, your UserControl contains a button that the user clicks and the Grid that contains your UserControl instance receives the MouseLeftButtonUp event but the Button is not the Source of the event, your UserControl is.
2. UserControl sets Focusable and IsTabStop to false. You can see the philosophy demonstrating itself again here as we don't want a grouping of existing controls to be Focusable.
3. UserControl sets HorizontalAlignment and VerticalAlignment to Stretch. A ContentControl would automatically be set to Left and Top.
4. UserControl's own AutomationPeer implementation allows you to change VisualStates viaVisualStateManager.GoToState(). ContentControl requires the VisualStateGroups to be at the top-level and you must call them with VisualStateManager.GoToElementState().
5. UserControl's own ControlTemplate wraps your content in a Border. This again makes sense when thinking of the philosophical use case for UserControl.
6. UserControl's own ControlTemplate provides more TemplateBindings than ContentControl. This is kind of a recapitulation of some above items but explains how they are possible. Recall that UserControl provides a Border so that relates to some of these free TemplateBindings you see below. This enables respect for BorderBrush, BorderThickness, Background and Padding properties on your control that would otherwise not work with just a ContentControl. For example, if you just derive your control from ContentControl and set the Background property on the root ContentControl element it will not work because the ControlTemplate of ContentControl has no TemplateBinding for Background. Of course you could set the Background property on the child content element that wraps your desired elements, like a Grid, but that isn't ideal IMO.
