Just as you design your own user interface (UI), or look and feel, for Silverlight applications, you can provide your own UI for data managed by <strong>Maps for WPF and </strong><strong>Silverlight</strong>. Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML; pronounced "Zammel"), an XML-based declarative language, offers a simple approach to designing your UI without having to write code.</p> <p><strong>Accessing Templates</strong></p> <p>You can access templates in Microsoft Expression Blend by selecting the C1Maps control and, in the menu, selecting <b>Edit Template</b>. Select <b>Edit a Copy</b> to create an editable copy of the current template or select <b>Create Empty</b> to create a new blank template.</p> <p> </p> <p><img src="Graphics/C1Maps/Narrative/Template.png" width="383" height="177"></p> <div style="WIDTH: 100%"> <table class="hs-box"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="hs-box-icon" valign="top"><img src="images/hs-note.gif"></td> <td class="hs-box-content" valign="top"> <p><b>Note</b>: If you create a new template through the menu, the template will automatically be linked to that template's property. If you manually create a template in XAML you will have to link the appropriate template property to the template you've created.</p> <p><strong>Note:</strong> You can use the <a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms592524" target="_blank">Template</a> property to customize the template.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <p> </p><!--DXMETADATA end--> <a name="seealsobookmark"></a> <!--DXMETADATA start type="FilteredItemList" scrap="CATEGORISED_LINKS" namespace="linkcategory" source="Item" filter="" NoHeader="True" NoFooter="True" format="%%replaceinquotes:value=false%%%%scrap:name=_COLLAPSIBLE_HEADER,idprefix=seealso,caption=""%%phrase:name=SeeAlso%%%%designlist:tagidentifier=seealso,itemtype=See Also%%""%%%%filtereditemlist%%</div>"--><div class="SectionHeading" id="seealsoSectionHeading"><span class="SectionHeadingIcon"><!-- --></span><span class="SectionHeadingText">See Also</span></div><div id="seealsoSectionContent" class="SectionContent"><h4 class="SeeAlsoSubHeading">Narrative</h4><div class="SeeAlsoLink"> <a href="Maps_for_WPF_and_Silverlight_Task-Based_Help.html">Maps for WPF and Silverlight Task-Based Help</a></div> </div><!--DXMETADATA end--> </div> <div id="FooterContent"> <!--DXMETADATA start type="Scrap" condition="communityenabled" name="_COMMUNITY_FOOTER" --><!--DXMETADATA end --> <!--DXMETADATA start type="Variable" name="CopyrightNotice" format="<p> </p><p> </p><hr style=""height: 1px"" /><p>%%variable%%</p>" --><p> </p><p> </p><hr style="height: 1px"><p>Copyright (c) <script type="text/javascript"> var theDate=new Date() document.write(theDate.getFullYear()) </script> GrapeCity, inc.
