How To: Add a Page

In this guide, we will add a new page with sample content to our Uno app together.

1. Add a new item:

   1. Right-click on the Presentation folder in the Solution Explorer on the right
   2. Select Add
   3. Then click on New Item

   

2. Create a Page element:

   1. Select the Page (Uno Platform) element at the top of the list and give it a name with the Page suffix. For example: SamplePage.xaml. This suffix is mandatory for Uno applications.
   2. Now click Add.

   

Adding Sample Content

To see that we are actually on the desired page, we now add simple sample content:

<Page x:Class="UnoApp2.Presentation.HelloWorldPage"
      xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
      xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
      xmlns:local="using:UnoApp2.Presentation"
      xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
      xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
      mc:Ignorable="d"
      Background="{ThemeResource BackgroundBrush}">
    <Grid>
        <TextBlock Text="Hello World"
                    HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"
                    VerticalAlignment="Center" />
    </Grid>
</Page>

This way, the text Hello World will be displayed on this page. Of course, you are free to use any content you like.
