While XAML is the preferred method for designing a Xamarin Forms UI, whatever can be achieved in XAML can be done using C# in the code-behind file. Building a Xamarin Forms UI - Code Behind looks at manipulating controls in Xamarin Forms UI using C# code. We take a content view from the earlier Layout Containers course and see how to adapt to changing device orientation in the code-behind file.

Hi, and welcome to this Building a Xamarin Forms UI: Code Behind course. In this course, we manipulate a Xamarin Forms UI with C# in the code-behind file. In Building a Xamarin Forms UI: Layout Containers course, we saw how the Grid layout didn't perform well when moving from portrait to landscape orientation. Now we will rearrange the layout with C# code to better adapt it to whichever orientation the device is in.
This is the first course in the Building a Xamarin Forms UI series focused mainly on C# in the code-behind file. While coding concepts in this course are elementary, you may find it challenging if you are a novice. You should be fine if you come from a programming background other than C#. Completing the Building a Xamarin Forms UI: Layout Containers course before this course would be beneficial. The source code we will start with is available at https://github.com/cloudacademy/xamarin-forms-ui-resources
