Step 1 of 4: Setting Up the Application

In this step, you'll set up your Windows Store application and add a C1Scheduler control. For more information on creating a WinRT style application, see Creating a WinRT Style Application.

Complete these steps:

In Visual Studio, select File -> New -> Project. This will open the New Project dialog window.
From the left pane, select your programming language from the Templates section and click the drop-down arrow. Select Store Apps and then Windows Apps.
Select Blank App (Windows) from the list of installed templates.
Give your application a name and click OK. Your application will open.
Locate your application in the Solution Explorer. Right-click the References folder and select Add New Reference from the context menu.
In the Reference Manager, select the drop-down arrow for the Windows 8.1 section and choose Extensions. You should see the WinRT Assemblies in the center pane. Select the following assemblies and click OK:

C1.Xaml

C1.Xaml.Calendar

C1.Xaml.DateTimeEditors

C1.Xaml.Scheduler

Double-click your MainPage.xaml page to open it. Add the following XAML namespace to your opening <Page> tag:

Markup	Copy Code
xmlns:Schedule="using:C1.Xaml.Schedule"

The whole <Page> tag should resemble the following:

Markup	Copy Code
<Page x:Class="SchedTest2.MainPage" xmlns:Schedule="using:C1.Xaml.Schedule" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:local="using:SchedTest2" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" mc:Ignorable="d">

Copy Code

<Page
    x:Class="SchedTest2.MainPage"
    xmlns:Schedule="using:C1.Xaml.Schedule"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:local="using:SchedTest2"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    mc:Ignorable="d">

Add the following markup to the <Grid> tag to add the C1Scheduler control to the application:

Markup	Copy Code
<Schedule:C1Scheduler Name="sched1" ViewType="Month" Grid.Row="1" Height="500" Width="650"></c1:C1Scheduler>

What You've Accomplished

In this topic, you created a Windows Store application, added assembly references, and added a C1Scheduler control to your application. In the next step, you'll add more XAML markup to your application, adding buttons to control the control's view.
