This topic shows you how to create and add a xamDataPresenter™ control to your Window using procedural code.

To create xamDataPresenter in procedural code:

Create a Microsoft® Windows® Presentation Foundation Window project.
In the Solution Explorer, add the following references:
- Infragistics3.Wpf.v7.2.dll
- Infragistics3.Wpf.Editors.v7.2.dll
- Infragistics3.Wpf.DataPresenter.v7.2.dll
Name the default Grid layout panel in the Window so that you can reference it in the code-behind.
In XAML:
```
<Grid Name="layoutRoot">
</Grid>
```
Attach an event handler to the Window's Loaded event.
In XAML:
```
<Window ... Loaded="Window_Loaded"  ... >
```
Open the code-behind and place using/Imports directives in your code-behind so you don't have to type out a member's fully qualified name.
In Visual Basic:
```
Imports Infragistics.Windows.DataPresenter
```
In C#:
```
using Infragistics.Windows.DataPresenter;
```

Create a private Window level variable for the xamDataPresenter control.

In Visual Basic:

Private xamDataPresenter1 as XamDataPresenter

In C#:

private XamDataPresenter xamDataPresenter1;

In the Window_Loaded event handler, initialize your private instance of xamDataPresenter and set its BindToSampleData property to True.

In Visual Basic:

xamDataPresenter1 = New XamDataPresenter()
'You can data bind your instance of xamDataPresenter instead of using the built in sample data
xamDataPresenter1.BindToSampleData = True

In C#:

xamDataPresenter1 = new XamDataPresenter();
//You can data bind your instance of xamDataPresenter instead of using the built in sample data
xamDataPresenter1.BindToSampleData = true;

Add your instance of xamDataPresenter to the Grid layout panel's Children collection.
In Visual Basic:
```
Me.layoutRoot.Children.Add(xamDataPresenter1)
```
In C#:
```
this.layoutRoot.Children.Add(xamDataPresenter1);
```
Run the project to see the xamDataPresenter control populated with sample data
