# Adding C1OrgChart to the Application

## Content



Complete the following steps to add a [C1OrgChart](/componentone/api/wpf/online-orgchart/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.OrgChart.4.6.2/C1.WPF.OrgChart.C1OrgChart.html) control to your application:

1.  From the Visual Studio **File** menu select **New** and choose **Project**.
2.  In the **New Project** dialog box choose a language in the left-side menu, choose **.NET** **6.0** in the **Framework** drop-down list, and enter a name for the project.
3.  In the Solution Explorer, right-click the project name and choose **Add Reference**. In the **Add Reference** dialog box, locate and select the following assemblies and click **OK** to add references to your project:
    *   C1.WPF and C1.WPF.OrgChart or
    *   C1.Silverlight and C1.Silverlight.OrgChart
4.  Open the XAML view of the MainWindow.xaml file and add the XAML namespace to the Window tag with the following markup: `xmlns:c1="http://schemas.componentone.com/winfx/2006/xaml"`.
    
    The namespaces will now appear similar to the following:
    
    ```xml
    <Window x:Class="MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:c1="http://schemas.componentone.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    ```
    
    This is a unified namespace that will enable you to work with most of the **WPF and Silverlight Edition** controls without adding multiple namespaces.
    
5.  Add the `_<c1:C1OrgChart x:Name="C1OrgChart1" />_` tag within the Grid tags on the page to add the [C1OrgChart](/componentone/api/wpf/online-orgchart/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.OrgChart.4.6.2/C1.WPF.OrgChart.C1OrgChart.html) control to the application.
    
    The XAML will appear similar to the following:
    
    ```xml
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <c1:C1OrgChart x:Name="C1OrgChart1" />
    </Grid>
    ```
    
    This will add a [C1OrgChart](/componentone/api/wpf/online-orgchart/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.OrgChart.4.6.2/C1.WPF.OrgChart.C1OrgChart.html) control named "C1OrgChart1" to the application.
    

You've successfully set up your application, but if you run your application now you'll see that application is currently blank.


> type=note
> **Note**: If the **C1OrgChart** control was installed to the Visual Studio Toolbox, simply dragging the control onto a page will automatically perform all the steps above.
