Binding To Custom User Control

[PhilipJKrueger]

I want to bind to definedproperties on a custom usercontrol. From the examples I've seen in the beginning prism tutorial I should be injecting my views using a region. If I do that then is my only option to use the event aggregator over binding to communicate information in and out of my custom control? Is it possible to embed the usercontrol in the xaml of another view and have prism new up that custom control? I come from the world of angular. Prism appears very similar to angular, except it appears to only support the embedding of custom controls through regions, thereby preventing binding to the custom control. Am I completely wrong about this? I guess what I'm asking is how do I make prism control the lifecycle of a custom control and still use wpf bindings on that control.
