## XAML: Extensible Application Markup Language
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
XAML pronounced as "Zammel" is a mark language developed by Microsoft. This markup language is mainly used for designing GUIs. Also it is popular for its usability in workflow.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Areas like Silverlight, Mobile Development, WPF (Windows Presentation Foindation), Windows Store uses XAML heavily and span accross any CLR and .NET framework
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Its a declaritive language and answers WHAT and HOW. It aims at separating the behavior from the designer code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example
|
||
|
|
Creating a TextBlock with several properties. TextBlocks are usually employed for the output of text, much like Labels in older versions of the .NET framework.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```xml
|
||
|
|
<TextBlock Text="I am a TextBlock!"
|
||
|
|
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
|
||
|
|
FontSize="25"
|
||
|
|
FontWeight="Bold"
|
||
|
|
Margin="50,10,0,0" />
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Example 2
|
||
|
|
The following example shows a label with "Hello World!" as its content in a top level container called UserControl.
|
||
|
|
```XAML
|
||
|
|
<UserControl xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation">
|
||
|
|
<Label Content="Hello World!" />
|
||
|
|
</UserControl>
|
||
|
|
```
