Step 1 of 3: Creating an Application with a C1Maps Control

In this step, you'll begin use Visual Studio to create a Windows Store application using the C1Maps control. You will also set the control's properties.

Complete the following steps:

Select File | New | Project to open the New Project dialog box.

Select Windows Store under C# in the right-hand pane.
In the left-hand pane, select Blank App (XAML).
Enter a name for your application and click OK. A new, blank Windows Store application will open.

In the Solution Explorer, right-click the References file and select Add Reference from the list. Browse to locate the following assembly references:

C1.Xaml.dll
C1.Xaml.DX.dll
C1.Xaml.Maps.dll
C1.Xaml.Zip.dll

Double-click the MainPage.xaml file to open it.
Add the following namespace declarations to the <Page> tag at the top of the page:

xmlns:C1="using:C1.Xaml.Maps"
xmlns:Xaml="using:C1.Xaml"

The tag should resemble the following:

<Page xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:C1="using:C1.Xaml.Maps" xmlns:local="using:MapsTest5" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:Xaml="using:C1.Xaml" x:Class="MapsTest5.MainPage" mc:Ignorable="d">

<Page xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:C1="using:C1.Xaml.Maps"
    xmlns:local="using:MapsTest5"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:Xaml="using:C1.Xaml"
    x:Class="MapsTest5.MainPage"
    mc:Ignorable="d">

Insert the following markup between the <Grid> </Grid> tags to add a C1Maps control:

Markup	Copy Code
<c1:C1Maps x:Name="maps" Foreground="LightGreen"></c1:C1Maps>

In this step, you created a new Windows Store project and added a C1Maps control to it. In the next step, you'll bind your map to a data source.
