Extract to XAML Template (XAML)

• Apr 01, 2018

Moves the current template to a resource section of the current file and adds a template reference to the initial control.

Availability

Available from the context menu or via shortcuts:

• when a cursor is located somewhere within a template.

Notes

• The refactoring extracts descendants of the System.Windows.FrameworkTemplate class as well.

Examples

ASPX

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication2.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
  <Grid>
        <Button Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="52,22,0,0" Name="button1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75">MyButton
            <Button.Template>
                <ControlTemplate>
                    <Border Background="Blue" BorderBrush="Red" BorderThickness="4" CornerRadius="5"/>
                </ControlTemplate>
            </Button.Template>
        </Button>
    </Grid>
</Window>

Result:

ASPX

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication2.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300"><Window.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <ControlTemplate x:Key="ButtonTemplate">
            <Border Background="Blue" BorderBrush="Red" BorderThickness="4" CornerRadius="5"/>
        </ControlTemplate>
    </ResourceDictionary>
</Window.Resources>
  <Grid>
        <Button  Template="{StaticResource ButtonTemplate}" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="52,22,0,0" Name="button1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75">MyButton

        </Button>
    </Grid>
</Window>
