Summary

We learned about XAML syntax in this chapter. We used the knowledge we learned to improve the look and feel of ItemsPage. We will continue improving the user interface of other pages throughout this book. To support multiple languages, we learned how to support localization in .NET. We created .resx resource files for the US-en, zh-Hans, and zh-Hant cultures and used a XAML markup extension to enable multi-language support. Finally, we used AboutPage as an example to explain how to use localized text in both XAML and C#.

In the next chapter, we will continue improving our app by introducing MVVM and data binding.
