Class in Windows Store App Using C#

Introduction

In this article I describe how to work with a class in a Windows Store app. In other words I bind the class. So let us understand the scenario.

Here I have added a class by right-clicking on the app name in Solution Explorer and create a class called employee and build it. Now add some controls to display the value to the class object.

So use the following procedure to create it.

Step 1

First of all you must create a new Windows Store Application.

Open Visual Studio 2012

"File" -> "New" -> "Project..."

Choose "Template" -> "Visual C#" -> "Window Store app"
Choose "Blank App (XAML)" then rename the application

Step 2

Now add a class by right-clicking on the name of the application in Solution Explorer and write the following simple code:

namespace binding_from_class

{

public class employee

{

public int id { get; set; }

public string name { get; set; }

public int salary { get; set; }

}

Step 3

Write the following XAML code in "Mainpage.Xaml" (that is available in Solution Explorer):

<Page

x:Class="binding_from_class.MainPage"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:local="using:binding_from_class"

xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"

xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"

mc:Ignorable="d">

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<Grid.RowDefinitions>

</Grid.RowDefinitions>

</Grid>

</Page>

Step 4

Now write the following C# code for the button within "Mainpage.Xaml.cs".

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.IO;

using System.Linq;

using Windows.Foundation;

using Windows.Foundation.Collections;

using Windows.UI.Xaml;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Primitives;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Data;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Input;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Media;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Navigation;

namespace binding_from_class

{

public sealed partial class MainPage : Page

{

public MainPage()

{

this.InitializeComponent();

}

protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)

{

}

employee emp = new employee();

private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

emp.id = 12;

emp.name = "Satya";

emp.salary = 6000;

text1.Text = emp.id.ToString ();

text2.Text = emp.name;

text3.Text = emp.salary.ToString();

}

Step 5

Now run your app and click on the "Show" button.
