Rename the Text if you need

Now move to MainWindow.xaml and double click on the Button, enter the following code

  12. using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
  13. using System.Windows.Navigation;
  14. using System.Windows.Shapes;
  15. namespace newwindow.xaml
  16. {
  17. /// <summary>
  18. /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
  19. /// </summary>
  20. public partial class MainWindow: Window
  21. {
  22. public MainWindow()
  23. {
  24. InitializeComponent();
  25. }
  26. private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
