I need to create a control which will consist of DatePicker and Label.The Label will tell us what day is pressed in DatePicker. This control should have a property LabelVisibility(something like that) to give possibility to disable it. Also it should be able to implement styles and have standart control behavior.

I don't think you have much choice. You need to create a Custom Control inheriting from User Control. A user control on it's own is not much use.

Here it is directly from the Horses mouth so to speak:

UserControl Class MSDN[^]

Provides an empty control that can be used to create other controls.

What you're describing is a UserControl.
