How to Find Leap Year in Windows Store App

In this article I am going to explain how you can check to determine if a specified year is a leap year or not. This article is created as a Window Store App in C# that determines whether a year is a leap year. For implementing this application I am using a simple XAML textbox that accepts the year in the form of input and a button to implement the BL logic.

To create the app use the following intructions.

Step 1

First of all you have to create a New Window Store Application.

• Open Visual Studio 2012
• "File" -> "New" -> "Project..."
• Choose "Template" -> "Visual C#" -> "Windows Store app" -> "Blank App (XAML)"
• Rename the application

Step 2

Now the project will be opened. Go into Solution Explorer and choose "MainPage.Xaml" for designing and "MainPage.Xaml.cs" to write the business logic.

Step 3

Write the following simple code in "MainPage.Xaml":

<Page

x:Class="App5.MainPage"

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

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

xmlns:local="using:App5"

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

<TextBlock Text="Enter year:" FontFamily=" Arial" FontSize="20" FontWeight="ExtraBold" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="2" Foreground="Red" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="181" Margin="76,10,0,36" />
