How to: Set the Startup Form in a WPF Application

Question: In my WPF project, I have two .xaml WPF forms (MainWindow.xaml and Window1.xaml), how do I set Window1.xaml as a startup form for my WPFproject.?

Solution: 

• Double click on the App.xaml file, in the Solution Explorer window.
• App.xmal file would open and would have the following xml

<Application x:Class="WPFTutorialDemo.App"

             xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

             StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml">

    <Application.Resources>

         

    </Application.Resources>

</Application>

You need to change the StartupUri attribute (highlighted yellow) with the name of the form you want to set as startup, in this case Window1.xaml, Save and close the file.
