- Create a WPF application and delete the files.
- Add file: MyWindow.cs:
using System;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
namespace HelloWorldManual
{
public class MyWindow : Window
{
private Label label1;
public MyWindow()
{
this.Width = 300;
this.Height = 300;
Grid grid = new Grid();
this.Content = grid;
Button button1 = new Button();
button1.Content = "Say Hello!";
button1.Height = 23;
button1.Margin = new Thickness(96, 50, 107, 0);
button1.VerticalAlignment = System.Windows.VerticalAlignment.Top;
button1.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(button1_Click);
grid.Children.Add(button1);
label1 = new Label();
label1.Margin = new Thickness(84,115,74,119);
grid.Children.Add(label1);
}
void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
label1.Content = "Hello WPF!";
}
[STAThread]
public static void Main()
{
Application app = new Application();
app.Run(new MyWindow());
}
}
}
Junk Example[]
Instead of the above source, use the following for MyWindow.cs:
None of this make sense below, but it compiles and it will create a bunch of Windows with various contents.
