Alert View Template

User can change the complete look and feel of the Alert View by building custom xaml template. The Alert View is bounded with an AlertViewModel object

Naming Convention

Any custom Alert xaml template must have the suffix Alert. For example if you name your Alert template as MyAlert, then the dataTemplate's key will be MyAlertAlert.

Copy

<DataTemplate x:Key="MyAlertAlert">
  <!-- design your template here -->
