1. Introduction To Universal Windows Platform (UWP) App Development Using Windows 10 And Visual Studio 2015

Reading this article, you can learn, how to create stack panel with scroll view control in Universal Windows apps development with XAML and Visual C#.

The following important tools are required to develop UWP-

1. Windows 10 (Recommended).
2. Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition (It is a free software available online).

Now, we can discuss the step by step app development.

Step1 - Open Visual Studio 2015 -> Start -> New Project-> Select Universal (under Visual C#->Windows)-> Blank app -> give the suitable name for your app (UWPStackPanel) ->OK.



Step 2 - Choose the Target and minimum platform version your Windows Universal Application will support. Afterwards, the project creates App.xaml and MainPage.xaml.



Step 3 - Open (double Click) the file MainPage.xaml in the Solution Explorer and click on the Toolbox tab on the left to open the list of common XAML controls. Expand common XAML controls and drag the required control to the middle of the design canvas.

Add TextBlock control and change the name and text property for the Title purpose.



Afterwards, drag and drop the stack panel control. You have to change the name property and add the end tag </StackPanel>.



Afterwards, drag and drop the scroll view control. Inside stack panel control, change the name property and add the end tag</ScrollView>.
