## Content



In this step, you'll begin in Visual Studio to create a Silverlight application using **HeaderedContentControl for WPF and Silverlight**.

Complete the following steps:

1.  In Visual Studio, select **File | New | Project**.
2.  In the **New Project** dialog box, select a language in the left pane, and in the templates list select **WPF Application**.
3.  Enter a **Name** and **Location** for your project and click **OK**. A new WPF application is created, which opens with the **MainPage.xaml** file displayed in **Design** view.
4.  Add the following namespace in XAML:
    
    ```xml
    xmlns:c1="http://schemas.componentone.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    ```
    
5.  Add the C1HeaderedContentControl to your project using the following code:
    
    ```xml
    <c1:C1HeaderedContentControl></c1:C1HeaderedContentControl>
    ```
    

In this step, you created a WPF application containing **C1HeaderedContentControl**. In the next step, you’ll customize **C1HeaderedContentControl**.
