My First Windows 8 App

From start click on VS icon and visual studio starts.

 

 Next,

 Click on file à new à project

From templates, select language Visual C# and Windows Store , select blank App

 

Provide the name and location for the solution and click okay.

The solution created for a blank app is a big solution as such.

 

  We will investigate on the solution structure in next article.

For now,

We will create a small app for windows store.

The MainPage.xaml is just a blank page. Delete the page.

Since we want to create the app for windows store, let us add a windows store template type in the solution.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Select ‘Basic Page’ type template.Since I had deleted the MainPage , I added the name of basic page as MainPage. 

Now , visual studio prompts you with a notification

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This notification basically informs the user that some files are missing and dependencies should be resolved. Clicking on Yes will resolve the dependency automatically.

I have not tried using no. J

Once , you click Yes. Along with the MainPage.xaml.A lot many files get added to the common folder .
