Lync 2013: Create a Lync Silverlight Controls application for Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro

On the Windows 8 Start Screen, click Visual Studio.

In Visual Studio, use the Lync Silverlight Application template to create an application.

In the XAML pane, delete the XAML text between the two StackPanel elements.

Set the following StackPanel attributes.

• Orientation='Vertical'

• HorizontalAlignment='Left'

• VerticalAlignment='Top'

Add attributes for Height and Width, and then set both to 300.

In the Visual Studio Toolbox, in the Lync 2013 SDK Controls tab, drag the MyStatusArea control onto the Design pane. Position the control in the upper-left corner of the Design pane.

Drag the ContactSearch control onto the Design pane. Position the control under the MyStatusArea control on the Design pane.

Drag the ContactList control onto the Design pane. Position the control under the ContactSearch control on the Design pane. This creates the XAML code in the following example.

<UserControl x:Class="LyncSilverlightApplication.MainPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Lync.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Lync.Controls"
    mc:Ignorable="d">
        <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
        <StackPanel Width="300" Height="300" Orientation="Vertical" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top">
            <controls:MyStatusArea/>
            <controls:ContactSearch/>
            <controls:ContactList Height="102"/>
        </StackPanel>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

Press F5 to build and run the application.

Before you start the next procedure, close the application.

On the Windows 8 desktop, start Internet Explorer.

In the browser history, click the Silverlight application that was created in the previous procedure.
