22. UI Framework & XAML
UI Framework
XAML
Signature & Standard Controls
eXtensible Application Markup Language
Layouts
A declarative, markup-based language to
define your user experience
Tree based
Retained mode / composited framework
Everything you can do in XAML you can do
in code – it’s just easier in XAML.
Fully extensible
UserControl & Panel
Styling
Templating
Subclassing
StackPanel stackPanel = new StackPanel();
TextBox textBox = new TextBox();
stackPanel.Children.Add(textBox);
Button button = new Button();
stackPanel.Children.Add(button);
<StackPanel>
<TextBox/>
<Button/>
</StackPanel>
28. Page Navigation
Each page identified by a URI
Each page is essentially
stateless
private void btnLongListSelector_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/LongListSelectorPage.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
}
35. Build For Both
Windows and Windows Phone Shared Core
Straightforward to share code between apps
No XAML sharing technique however…
MVVM - Model View ViewModel
Easy to share Model and ViewModel for both apps
Views are tailored to screen sizes
Easiest if you build both apps at the same time
41. Conclusion
It’s the best time to get started !
Tons of useful resources available online
Topics we didn’t covered…
More advanced APIs: speech, NFC, wallet, background tasks…
Launchers and choosers
File association
