Introduction

Here I am talking about a page designed  with XAML. There are the controls which are TextBox, Label, Buttons etc. These are the WPF controls. Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) ships with many of the common UI components that are used in almost every Windows application, such as , Label, TextBox , Button and ListBox.WPF is a advance version of window application and its provides a great feature to the .NET. we can create or designed a page By XAML code easily. These Classes which inherit from the Control class contain a ControlTemplate, which allows the customer or users  of a control to radically change the control's appearance without having to create a new subclass.We can add a control to an application by using either Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) or code. This example shows how to create a simple application that asks a employee for their job details. Here is page which contain employee job details and its design by XAML code.
