❔ ✅ WPF Class derivation where both classes have XAML pages

Is it OK for base WPF class to have a XAML page and its derived class to also declare one? So we'd have X deriving from Y with the following files existing: x.xaml.cs, x.xaml, y.xaml.cs, and y.xaml.

there's nothing WRONG with that, per-se, but I question what the use-case is

Well, it didn't work. I ran into an error specifically for this situation. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/developer/dotnet/framework/general/error-mc6017-define-class-xaml

This article provides resolutions to solve the build error MC6017 when you try to define a class that derives from a XAML-generated class.
