How do you generate classes from XAML in Visual Studio 2008?
I have a Silverlight project. The XAML has been written in Expression Blend. I am told that I can use Visual Studio to use the grid classes in the Page.xaml file (the whole solution is loaded into Visual Studio) to generate the .CS (C#) files in Visual Studio 2008 that correspond to the several <grid> classes in the XAML. How is this done? Is there a wizard somewhere that will do this for me? Do I have to do this by hand?
When I open the Page.Xaml file and click on the name of the <grid> node, (x:Name) and select, to view code, it takes me to a file without much meat on it:
public partial class Page : UserControl
{
public Page()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
Since each <grid> contains a lot of components, I was expecting more.
Am I supposed to expand on this class by hand and code all the methods for this "Page" class? Is there a tutorial that shows how to do this?
