Displaying the First Page on the Right

The C1Book.IsFirstPageOnTheRight property gets or sets if the first page of the book is displayed on the right or the left side. See First Page Display for more information. By default the C1Book control starts with the first page displayed on the left and two pages displayed, but you can customize this by setting the C1Book.IsFirstPageOnTheRight property at design time, in XAML, and in code.

At Design Time

To set the C1Book.IsFirstPageOnTheRight property at design time, complete the following steps:

Click the C1Book control once to select it.
Navigate to the Properties window and check the check box next to the IsFirstPageOnTheRight item.

In XAML

For example, to set the C1Book.IsFirstPageOnTheRight property, add IsFirstPageOnTheRight="True" to the <c1:C1Book> tag so that it appears similar to the following:

XAML	Copy Code
<c1:C1Book x:Name="C1Book1" Height="300" Width="450" IsFirstPageOnTheRight="True">

In Code

For example, to set the C1Book.IsFirstPageOnTheRight property, add the following code to your project in the page's constructor:

Visual Basic	Copy Code
Me.C1Book1.IsFirstPageOnTheRight = True

C#	Copy Code
this.c1Book1.IsFirstPageOnTheRight = true;

What You've Accomplished

You've set the first page to appear on the right. If you run the application, the first page will appear as a single page, like the book's cover:
