2. Chapter 2 XAML

2-1. InitialWindow

- This WPF window relies on the following:

=> Window

=> Page ( similar to Window, but used for navigable applications. )

=> Application ( defines application resources and startup settings, but just being only one, there is nothing for application. )

- There are two XML namespaces:

=> xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

=> xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

- Naming Elements

=> <Grid x:Name="grid1>

2-2. EightBallWindow

- Special Characters and Whitespace

=> Less than < -> &lt;

=> Greater than > -> &gt;

=> Ampersand & -> &amp;

=> Quotation mark " -> &quot;

- To use a class not defined in one of the WPF namespaces, just write like to the following:

=> xmlns:[Prefix]="clr-namespace:[Namespace];assembly=[AssemblyName]"

- Use uncompiled XAML file

=> Just use XamlReader.Load( [ FileStream from xamlFile path ] )
