This tutorial is dedicated to the GN4 implementation of the XAML based directory styles.

In the first part of this tutorial, you will read some preliminary explanations ( General prerequisites, What are the directory styles?, Where do you find and manage directory styles?, How many different directory style sections exist in the standard configuration?, Does every GN4 version has "own" directory styles?, Does every GN4 customer has "own" directory styles?).

Moreover, the introductory part teaches you how to prepare your Visual Studio for the tasks. In case that your Visual Studio is already all set-up, you can skip the related tasks ( TASK: Prepare your Visual Studio to be able to search in all configurations and TASK: Prepare your Visual Studio to import configuration files in database ).

Several tasks are dedicated to the locating of required files, opening them and locating the appropriate parts of code and understanding them by means of examples and comparing the look "before-and-after".

After you've learned to recognize and understand parts of the directory styles, we teach you how to make simple and easy changes, e.g. change the order of the displayed data, change the column label, or change the sorting, add new columns etc.

Important notice: XAML is case sensitive, so you need to type the examples exactly as specified in the tutorial.
