# Page Templates

## Content



**C1Book**'s book control includes two page templates: the [C1Book.LeftPageTemplate](/componentone/api/wpf/online-extended/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.Extended.4.6.2/C1.WPF.Extended.C1Book.LeftPageTemplate.html) and the [C1Book.RightPageTemplate](/componentone/api/wpf/online-extended/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.Extended.4.6.2/C1.WPF.Extended.C1Book.RightPageTemplate.html). These templates control the appearance and layout of the left and right pages of the book. These templates function as master pages -- items that you add to these page templates will appear on every page that template effects. This is useful, for example, if you want to add a watermark or company logo to every page without adding it to every single page in the book individually.

**Accessing Page Templates**

You can access page templates in Microsoft Expression Blend by selecting the [C1Book](/componentone/api/wpf/online-extended/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.Extended.4.6.2/C1.WPF.Extended.C1Book.html) control and, in the menu, selecting **Edit Additional Templates**. Choose **Edit LeftPageTemplate** or **Edit RightPageTemplate** and select **Create Empty** to create a new blank template.

The **Create ControlTemplate Resource** dialog box will appear allowing you to name the template and determine where to define the template. By default, the template will appear blank with an empty Grid control:

```xaml
<ControlTemplate x:Key="NewLeftPageTemplate">
  <Grid/>
</ControlTemplate>
```

You can customize the template as you would any other **ControlTemplate**.
