Reusable Custom Content for Buttons

Question

My user interface makes use of customized Buttons: They contain both an Image and a Label.

I customized a single Button

Answer 1

you could:

1. Derive a class from button, add the two properties and overide the control template. using a usercontrol that contains the button you will be forced to do work arounds such as exposing the button as a property. (to attach commands, get the click event etc.)

2. create your own straight class that has the two properties, and set it to be the buttons content, and create a data template for it, then the button stays as a straight button. If you want these properties to be set from the xaml, derive from control or something that allows dependency properties

I would use the second approach, its simple, and quick.
