This is probably newbie question, but I would like to know how to acces (view) the XAML code in Windows Application Project (C#) in Visual Studio. I mean just like the XML code, that you can see when you create Windows Phone Application.
Yeah I know, that this might seem stupid, but I tried to google it and there were no answers.
The tabs at the bottom of visual studio should be what you're looking for.

I've written some code in Java, which I've compiled into an AAR from Android Studio, that I need to use in my Xamarin.Android app. I've done this by following the instructions here to create a bindings library for my Java code.
Now I would like to step into the Java code to investigate an issue. Is it possible to do this from either Visual Studio or Android Studio? Thanks.
edit: For example, would it be possible to somehow attach the Android Studio debugger to my app's process? It calls the code in the AAR, but I'm not sure if Android Studio would know where to look for the AAR's sources in order to debug.
Pleasantly, the answer is yes and it couldn't be simpler to do so. After you start debugging from Visual Studio, go to your Android Studio project and click this button:
A dialog will come up asking which process you want to attach to. Make sure you have 'Show all processes' checked, and you will be able to see one corresponding to your app.
Once you attach to your app's process, you will be able to set breakpoints in the Java code and have them work like magic.
I am coming from android studio and am really missing the preview feature when editting XML code.
The Xamarin website says this:
https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/xamarin-forms/xaml/xaml-previewer/
I find it essential to use the XML preview because I am still a beginner and learning.
Is there any way this can be done? Perhaps any third party apps if they exist?
Thanks In advance
There some alternatives to Xamarin's own XAML previewers, but it is unclear whether those third parter alternatives would support XAML themes.
Gorilla Player
enter image description here
This one is particularly good for previewing the XAML live simultaneously across multiple platform. I think its available on windows but the level of integration with visual studio remains unclear. However, as their download page contains link for windows, it should support it.
You can access it from this link:
http://gorillaplayer.com
XenForms
XenForms is another promising Xamarin.Forms. You can Load, Edit, and Save XAML. This is the first WYSIWYG UI designer for Xamarin.Forms. This tool definitely support windows as a developing platform and windows phones. Unfortunately, it does NOT support drag and drop. Another great feature is that is it has some support for c# user interface as well as the XAML markups.www.xenforms.com
You can check Xamarin's own previewer which is integrated with Visual Studio. Please update your xamarin to latest installation. You may also need to rebuild the solution and then open/reopen the XAML file for preview. For details please check my blog post here.
I created a simple C# WPF application (executable) and I cannot seem to get into the linker options. I copied a screenshot from the internet:
I want to see this window in my application but I can't find it anywhere. I know I have been in this kind of window before, I forgot how I got there and I've spend an hour now to find it and I'm going nuts. I read everywhere that I have to select my project (not solution) and then go to properties. However, it takes me here:
Can anybody explain to me in extreme detail how I get to the linker properties? I use Visual Studio 2015.
You're mixing up C++ annd C#.
Your first screenshot shows a C++ project, and your second screenshot shows a C# project.
C# doesn't let you manually configure linker options.
Hello I would like to use the Apex package on VS2013 but it seems like its impossible.
I really like this design
It looks like its a pivot control like on windows phone but its not allowed for wpf, since im not a pro (still at school) where could i get a control like this for wpf ?
It seems to install just fine for me in a test WPF project in VS 2013. I just right click on my project and went to Manage NuGet, searched for 'Apex' in the online section and clicked Install. What issues were you having?
How do you create a desktop application using C# that would look like Visual Studio 2010?
Here's an example
What development environments can you use?
Can you recommend any samples, tutorials or blogposts?
edit:
I think I found what I was looking for... http://wpfthemes.codeplex.com/. Thank you all for your answers.
The video shows a plug-in for VS, but the basic answer is WPF.
I think the best approach is to do it the way Visual Studio does. Starting in 2010 the Visual Studio shell is a WPF application which has a very distinctive Win32 look and feel. I believe, but don't know, that a lot of this is done via styling and themes. So a simply WPF Application project would be the starting point of the solution.
Getting into applying styling and themes is beyond the scope of a simple SO answer. Could you be a bit more specific about what you want?
