The picture below shows many controls using snippets of XAML:
Use the MarkupContext to link events in XAML with Subroutines or Functions in your code.
The Label control is unique in that it can also be used to create full-screen XAML applications. It is possible to create elaborate full-sized applications using Markup. To do this, the Label control is used. For a full-sized application designed with Markup, you would add a Label control to a form and resize the Label control to the full size of the form. It is recommended to first add a Codejock Resizer control that is the size of the form and then drop the Label control inside the Resizer. Then you would set the Caption property of the Label control to the entire XAML string created using the MarkupPad.
You would then use the MarkupContext property of the Label control to connect events that occur in XAML Markup with Subroutines or Functions in your application.
Below is a picture of a Label resized to the size of a form using nothing but XAML. The MDI Child of this application was created using XAML and the Label control. (The image has been scaled down to fit on this page):
