Best practice for calling methods and variables from/of class

I have the following setup and I'm wondering if what I'm doing is the best approach:

Project1 //reusable code and controls
    mainclass.cs
    usercontrol1.xaml
    usercontrol2.xaml

Project2 //referencing Project1
    mainwindow.xaml //containing usercontrol1.xaml and usercontrol2.xaml

Project1 contains a class and user controls used in other projects, for example Project2. As the mainwindow in Project2 is initialized I create a new instance of mainclass and pass it as variable to the usercontrols, I also pass the usercontrols as variables to the mainclass.

In this way from the mainclass I can have access to all public methods and variables in the usercontrols and vice versa. Is this a good approach?

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainClass MC = new MainClass();
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        MC.usercontrol1 = this.usercontrol1;
        MC.usercontrol2 = this.usercontrol2;

        usercontrol1.mainClass = MC;
        usercontrol2.mainClass = MC;
    }
...

I know that part of this would be more appropriate if done via Events, but the number of methods and variables I need to cross-access between the class and the usercontrols is very high, and doing this way seems to work just fine...

Thanks!
