UWP Layout using SplitView and RelativePanel in C# with XAML | Inside Windows Platform

[News]

This week, Shen and I took a look at how you can very easily use the new XAML SplitView control to build an experience in your UWP application that automatically _adapts_ based on the current size of your application.

As you may imagine, this is one of the foundational building blocks we provide to enable you to build application experiences that appropriately render for the type of device on which the user is running the application.

In this video, we demonstrate how these same techniques enable the application to adapt to how the user may change the size of your application in Windows as well.

Here are some additional resources you may find valuable in leveraging these controls:

From the Official Developer Documentation:

• Guide to UWP Apps
• Responsive Design 101
• Guidelines for the SplitView Control

From the Official Microsoft Windows Developer Sample Code:

• XAML Responsiveness techniques sample

From the Windows Developer Blog:

• Make Your App Look Good on Any Screen Size

From the Build 2015 conference:
