Summary  
This chapter covers how to declare and configure a UI control element in markup by specifying its properties.  

General domain of usage  
User interface development

You have the base application given on the <a 
href="https://github.com/Codefinity-Java/MAUIElementCreationTask"
target="_blank"
style="color: #ff8a00; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.3s ease-in-out;"
onmouseover="this.style.color='#ff0000'"
onmouseout="this.style.color='#d27204'">Github Repository</a>.

Clone the program to your local machine, and add a new **Button** element to the application, and set its properties to the following values:

- `x:Name`: `CloseBtn`
- `Text`: `Close`
- `HorizontalOptions`: `Fill`

**You only have to edit the XAML file.**

**Check:** If the program runs successfully without throwing any exceptions then your task is correct.


In this course, we will learn about some advanced C# concepts along with MAUI, which is an application development library. We will learn how to create some interesting GUI applications while keeping them quick and responsive using techniques like Threading. We will make applications that will interact user input and APIs, and apart from that, we will cover some important C# concepts like Reflection and Generics. This course will further improve our programming skills and will give us a strong foundation to move forward towards Web Development.
