Creating a XAML from 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 from Template.
  3. Click the tab that contains the types of templates you want to create. Depending on your configuration, options might be Document Archive or M3.
  4. Click the template that is most like the mashup you want to design and then click Create.
  5. Specify a location and name to the resulting .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.
  6. 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.
