What is XAML in WPF? Explained with Simple Examples

Image
In this article, we’ll dive into one of the core building blocks of WPF — XAML. We’ll explore how it works and why it plays such an important role in building modern desktop applications. What is XAML? XAML stands for eXtensible Application Markup Language. It’s a markup language used to design the user interface in WPF applications. XAML allows developers and designers to work separately, making the code cleaner and easier to manage. Think of it as HTML for WPF apps. XAML Syntax XAML uses XML-style syntax. Every UI element is an XML tag. Attributes define properties like height, width, and content. You can also nest elements inside others to create more complex layouts. For example, placing a TextBlock inside a Grid layout. <Grid>     <TextBlock Text="Hello, WPF World!"                 Width="200"                 Height="50"              ...

Why we should use xaml in Wpf ?

The specific advantage that XAML brings to WPF is that XAML is a completely declarative language, allowing the developer (or designer) to describe the behavior and integration of components without the use of procedural programming. Although it is rare that an entire application will be built completely in XAML, the introduction of XAML allows application designers to more effectively contribute to the application development cycle. Using XAML to develop user interfaces also allows for separation of model and view, which is considered a good architectural principle. 

"XAML is used when we have two systems which are in heterogeneous in nature.so WPF internal representation is XAML.so if we create the UI in XAML than it can be render on windows application,web application inside browser."
