XAML

What is XAML? Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML)

is a declarative language. Specifically, XAML can initialize objects and set properties of objects, using a language structure that shows hierarchical relationships between multiple objects, and using a backing type convention that supports extension of types. You can create visible UI elements in the declarative XAML markup. You can then associate a separate code-behind file for each XAML file that can respond to events and manipulate the objects that you originally declare in XAML.

First Application (Hello World)

Javascript: “Hello World” replaces “Content Goes

Here” C#:

1. MainPage.xaml.cs DisplayText.Text = "Hello, world";2. MainPage.xaml <StackPanel> <Button Content="Click Me"

Click="HelloButton_Click" /> <TextBlock x:Name="DisplayText" FontSize="48" /> </StackPanel>
