Answer 1

Just include the namespace of the user control on the page where you want it, and then use it.

I don't have a machine right now, it will look something like this:

<page>
<page.resources>
<xmlns:localContolrs="using:CustomControls">
</page.resources>
<localControls.MyControl ItemsSource="Model.MyList" />
</page>

Here I assume MyControl is a List control.

this may help you

Within Visual Studio you can define UserControls by going to Project --> Add New Item and selecting User Control. After defining it there you can then add a reference to it in the XAML of the page you want to use it in. You do this by adding a something along the lines of the following to the root tag of your page.

<common:LayoutAwarePage
    ...
    xmlns:CustomControlName="using:CustomControlNamespace"
    ...>

If you want to do it in the same XAML document, I guess you could define the control in the pages resources

<Page.Resources>

    <UserControl x:Name="CustomControl">
       ...
    </UserControl>

</Page.Resources>
