Today I want to talk about first steps with Microsoft Surface SDK. After installing the necessary versions of Visual Studio and XNA Framework our computer should be ready for the SDK 2.0 installation. I will be following the steps on: http://goo.gl/gFAkz Download the SDK from: http://goo.gl/mxrxH
- Creating our first project: Open Visual Studio or Microsoft Visual C# 2010 and click on File>New Project and select the 2.0 SDK under Surface. Create a new Surface Application (WPF). WPF stands for Windows Presentation Foundation, and these applications can be built as .NET Framework executables (.exe), libraries (.dll) or a combination of both types (more info: http://goo.gl/xMqOC).
- The XAML file created is the base for the User Interface (UI) of the application. Its base element is the SurfaceWindow element. The C# code generated contains three different event holders.
