Creating an application without a template

  1. Select Mashup > Tools > Mashup Designer. You will be on a blank Designer canvas.
  2. From the File menu, select New > New XAML.
  3. Specify a location and name to the .xaml file. For ease in locating the application later, it is a good idea to use a name that describes the task the application performs.
  4. If you are presented with a dialog box prompting you to associate the new .xaml file with the current project, click Yes or No depending on your preference. You can assign or re-assign .xaml files with projects at any time.

    You will be on the Designer canvas and can begin adding controls to your application.
