Now let's see how we can set up a new WPF project.
And again, I want to mention if you are on a mac OS or Linux system, right, you will not be able
to create WPF applications, so I suggest you simply watch the videos without following along or grab
a Windows computer, install a virtual machine or whatever.
Awesome.
Now let's get started.
Let's create a new project right here.
Let's search for WPF, give it a second to load.
And here you can see WPF Application, a project for creating a Dotnet WPF application.
And that's the one that we want to pick.
It's for C sharp, not visual basic, not F sharp, but it is C sharp.
So pick it, select it, let's hit next, let's give it a name.
And for the next couple of lectures, we simply want to create a WPF demo application.
So I will just call it demo now, place it at any location and hit next again as a framework.
Let's just open that up.
Let's take a look.
We got Dotnet core here.
Three Dotnet.
Core 3.1, five, six and seven.
Now, just for your interest.
Net core, the word core just got removed.
So net five and six and seven, they are also like core, but they just got rid of the core entirely.
So for me, net seven is the latest version, so I will simply pick that one.
You can also pick net seven.
That's always what I suggest.
But well, if there is a dot net nine version for you, go ahead, give it a try.
Right.
So let's create our project.
So the project just got created and this is what you should be able to see.
And we will explore this in the next lecture.
But just the first thing that I can tell you is that you have two main windows right here.
You have your design window, which shows the graphical representation of your application, and you
have that Xaml window right here at the bottom, which is basically just the representation of your
application written in Xaml.
And Xaml stands for Extensible Application Markup Language.
Well, you can use it to create user interface elements directly.
So let's get started in the next lecture.
