Run is called from a browser-hosted application (for example, an XAML browser application (XBAP)). |
This overload extends the Run method to open the specified window after an application starts running.
If you define a code Application that opens a window when it starts running, you explicitly call Run.
If you create your Application using markup, or markup and code-behind, you can automatically open a window during using either of the following techniques:
The following example shows an application with a manually-created static entry point method that instantiates Application, before calling Run.
using System;
using System.Windows;
namespace CSharp
{
public class EntryPoint
{
// All WPF applications should execute on a single-threaded apartment (STA) thread
[STAThread]
public static void Main()
{
Application app = new Application();
app.Run(new Window());
}
}
}
