You know how Visual Studio neatly collates all the relevant files (the XAML and the code behind file in this case) for you whenever you create a new user control or page in WPF:
needless to say, in any sizable UI project this makes life hell of a lot easier navigating through the solution!
However, the same support is sadly lacking for normal partial class files.. for instance, if I ever wanted to slice up my class into partial classes in separate files to better organize (and make perusing easier) a bloated class file:
Visual Studio by default doesn’t collate the partial class files for you, but there’s a quick and easy (albeit manual) way to do this yourself in a few steps:
1. unload the project and edit the .csproj file
2. edit the entries for the files you want to collate to add a DependentUpon child element, e.g.
3. save, and reload project
Voila!
