# UserControl

The `UserControl` gives you the ability to create controls that can be used in multiple places within an application or organization. You can include all the code needed for validation of common data you ask the user to input; some examples of this are email addresses, telephone numbers, and postal codes. Another efficient use of the user control is to simply preload a `ComboBox` or `ListBox` with static items you commonly use in almost every application; some examples of this are countries/regions, cities, states, and office locations.
