Now I want to generate code-behind for my designed controls and this code behind will be saved inside a new (.cs) file. My goal is to visually show this code-behind file under the xaml file in the solution explorer (exactly the same as with the win form designer which has two .cs files and one is dependant upon other). How can I achieve this Can this be achieved through vs template (this is pro ...Show All
