XAML
XAML is an acronym for extensible Application Markup Language. it is created by Microsoft. XAML is used to create the graphical user interface or UI for a .NET Framework application.
The root element of the XAML must have namespace defined as following:
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation
For example
The below code defines the root
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication54.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>
<TextBlock>Hello, Rohatash!</TextBlock>
</Grid>
</Window>
Now run it.
