Create custom rectangle UI Element

I want to create a custom UI element which will be a custom rectangle object
in a c# XAML application. I'm new to XAML and c# as most of my experience
has been using vb with sql. I'm building a simple Visio type app where I
can drag rectangles on a canvas to create diagrams. for now I don't need
fancy shapes so I'll just start with a rectangle class where I can add
custom properties to it such as where lines are connected to it, etc. Can
someone please recommend some documentation on how to get started with
creating this custom rectangle class. I'm not sure how to get started such
as creating a class that inherits from rectangle or what...

Thanks.
