namespace SilverlightApplication1
{
    public partial class MainPage : UserControl
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            // Required to initialize variables
            InitializeComponent();

        }
    }
}

where do I find the code for this InitializeComponent(); I have no idea what its doing. thanks

Answer 1

InitializeComponent is implemented on the other side of your partial class. It is auto-generated code, and determines the components and controls used on your page, it’s positions, etc.

If you want to look at the implementation you can put your cursor on it’s name and hit F12 (only works on VisualStudio 🙂

Also, you can check the official documentation here or this nice answer
