Silverlight Templates

   Until Ward posts his tutorial or the new DevForce templates are ready (which would be most welcome indeed), perhaps this will help. Here are the steps I performed to integrate the UI from the Silverlight Navigation Application template into an application generated by DevForce Silverlight Application.

   1.  Generate a new project based on Silverlight Navigation Application.  Assume it is called default �SilverlightNavigationApplication1�.  We will be copying stuff out of this project into the DevForce one.

   2.  Generate a new project based on DevForce Silverlight Application.  Assume it is called �DevForceSilverlightApplication1�.  We will be replacing the simple UI showing �Hello DevForce� with the multi-page UI from SilverlightNavigationApplication1.

   3.  Assets\Assets.xaml --- Copy Assets\Assets.xaml from SilverlightNavigationApplication1 to DevForceSilverlightApplication1.  Create Assets folder in Solution, Add Assets.xaml to it, and set properties to be the same as reference project (Set Build action to Resource).

   4.  Views\* --- Copy all 6 .xaml and .cs files in the Views\ subfolder (i.e. Views\*) from SilverlightNavigationApplication1 to DevForceSilverlightApplication1.  Create Views folder in Solution, Add all files from Views\ to it.  (All properties are already correctly set, so there is no need to change.)

   5.  App.xaml � Open SilverlightNavigationApplication1�s App.xaml and copy the contents of the <Application.Resources> tag to the clipboard.  Paste it into the App.xaml in DevForceSilverlightApplication1, overwriting the original tag.

   6.  MainPage.xaml / MainPage.xaml.cs --- Replace MainPage.xaml and MainPage.xaml.cs in DevForceSilverlightApplication1 with the files from SilverlightNavigationApplication.

   7.  Search/Replace namespace in Entire Solution:  replace �SilverlightNavigationApplication1� with �DevForceSilverlightApplication1�.

   8. Add references to System.Windows.Controls and System.Windows.Controls.Navigation

Hope this helps,
