Step 1 of 3: Creating an Application with a C1DateSelector Control

In this step, you'll begin in Visual Studio to create a WinRT-style application using C1DateSelector for WinRT.

Complete the following steps:

In Visual Studio 2012 Select File | New | Project.

In the New Project dialog box, expand a language in the left pane, under the language select Windows Store, and in the templates list select Blank App (XAML). Enter a Name and click OK to create your project.

Open MainPage.xaml if it isn't already open, place the cursor between the <Grid> and </Grid> tags, and click once.

Navigate to the Toolbox and double-click the C1DateSelector icon to add the control to the grid. The XAML markup resembles the following:

Markup	Copy Code
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot"> <Xaml:C1DateSelector/> </Grid>

You have successfully created a WinRT-style application containing a C1DateSelector control. In the next step, you will modify the appearance of the control.
