In this step, you'll set up your Universal Windows application and add a C1Scheduler control. For more information on creating a UWP style application, see Creating a UWP Style Application.

Complete these steps:

1. In Visual Studio, select File -> New -> Project. This will open the New Project dialog window.
2. Select Templates | Visual C# | Windows | Universal. From the templates list, select Blank App (Universal Windows).
3. Give your application a name and click OK. Your application will open.
4. Locate your application in the Solution Explorer. Right-click the References folder and select Add New Reference from the context menu.
5. Expand Universal Windows and select Extensions; you should see the UWP Assemblies in the center pane. Select the following assemblies and click OK:
   • C1.UWP
   • C1.UWP.Calendar
   • C1.UWP.DateTimeEditors
   • C1.UWP.Schedule
   
   
6. Double-click your MainPage.xaml page to open it. Add the following XAML namespace to your opening <Page> tag:

   Markup	Copy Code
   xmlns:Schedule="using:C1.Xaml.Schedule"

   The whole <Page> tag should resemble the following:

   Markup	Copy Code
   <Page x:Class="SchedTest2.MainPage" xmlns:Schedule="using:C1.Xaml.Schedule" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:local="using:SchedTest2" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" mc:Ignorable="d">

   
   
7. Add the following markup to the <Grid> tag to add the C1Scheduler control to the application:

   Markup	Copy Code
   <Schedule:C1Scheduler Name="sched1" ViewType="Month" Grid.Row="1" Height="500" Width="650"></Schedule:C1Scheduler>

What You've Accomplished

In this topic, you created a Universal Windows application, added assembly references, and added a C1Scheduler control to your application. In the next step, you'll add more XAML markup to your application, adding buttons to control the control's view.
