Introduction

This blog will help us in working with the basic window creation under WPF using Visual Studio.

Prerequisites

 

• Visual Studio 2013 with Update 4 or Visual Studio 2015

 

Follow the below steps to create a new window in WPF:

Step 1: Create an empty WPF using Visual Studio, enter the name for the application and click on OK.

Step 2: Create a button using the following code or drag and drop a button from the ToolBox of Visual Studio 2013.

Code:

<Button Content="Button" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="133,120,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75"/>

 

Step 3: Solution Name(Right Click) --> Add à New Window.

Step 4: Name the New window and click on OK.

Step 5: Name the New window and click on OK.

Code:

<TextBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="23" Margin="119,98,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap"Text="TextBox" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120"/>

 

Rename the Text if you need

Now move to MainWindow.xaml and double click on the Button, enter the following code

Newwindow p = Newwindow();

p.Show();

Code for Mainwindow.xaml.cs is:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
namespace newwindow.xaml
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class MainWindow: Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            Newwindow p = Newwindow();
            p.Show();
        }
    }
}

Now run the program.
