When you first start working with a new control, you may not know where to begin. This topic will walk you through, from the beginning, how to create the xamDataPresenter™ control and data bind it using XAML. For information on creating the xamDataPresenter control in procedural code, see Creating xamDataPresenter in Procedural Code.

Create a Microsoft® Windows® Presentation Foundation Window or Page project.
For easier access to xamDataPresenter, place the following namespace declaration inside the opening Page or Window tag.
In XAML:
```
xmlns:igDP="http://infragistics.com/DataPresenter"
```
Create a resources section defining an XmlDataProvider. The XmlDataProvider references the Orders XML file. Place the following XAML inside the Grid Panel.
In XAML:
```
<Grid.Resources>
	<XmlDataProvider Source="../Data/Orders.xml" 
	  x:Key="OrderData" XPath="/Orders" />
</Grid.Resources>
```

Create an instance of XamDataPresenter, name it, and set its DataSource to the XmlDataProvider you created in the previous step. Set the xamDataPresenter's View property to GridView.

In XAML:

<igDP:XamDataPresenter x:Name="XamDataPresenter1"  
  DataSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource OrderData}, XPath=Order}">
	<igDP:XamDataPresenter.View>
		<igDP:GridView/>
	</igDP:XamDataPresenter.View>
</igDP:XamDataPresenter>

Build and run the project. You should see the xamDataPresenter control populated with data similar to the image below.
