Vista - User controls in a ControlTemplate

Is it forbidden to use a custom control in a control template or a style ?

when i do something like

<local:MyControl />

In a ControlTemplate, I get

Error 86 Unknown tag 'MyControl' in namespace 'local'.
Note that tag names are case sensitive. Line 1624 Position 10.

Yet the mapping must be OK because I can do

<ControlTemplate x:Key="MyTemplate"
TargetType="{x:Type local:MyControl}">

Hello Griff,

You might want to take a look at the WPF XAML blog http://spaces.msn.com/wpfxaml/.

Hope this helps.
