Example

Say that we will convert from PanoramaItem in WP8 to HubSection in UWP.

For example this Windows Phone 8 Silverlight code:

<phone:PanoramaItem>
       <TextBlock>Hello!</TextBlock>
</phone:PanoramaItem>

We want to convert the previous code the following UWP code:

<HubSection>
   <DataTemplate>
     <TextBlock>Hello!</TextBlock>
   </DataTemplate>
</HubSection>

We can use the WrapContent action as follows:

<xmap:XamlElementMapper ElementName="PanoramaItem"
                        ElementNamespace="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone">
    <xmap:XamlElementMapper.Maps>
        <xmap:XamlMap Kind="Element">
            <xmap:XamlMap.Action>
                <xmap:RenameElement NewName="HubSection" NewNamespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" />
            </xmap:XamlMap.Action>
        </xmap:XamlMap>
        <xmap:XamlMap Kind="Element">
            <xmap:XamlMap.Action>

                <xmap:WrapContent
                        WrappingElementName="DataTemplate"
                        WrappingElementNamespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
                   />

            </xmap:XamlMap.Action>
        </xmap:XamlMap>
    </xmap:XamlElementMapper.Maps>
    ...
</xmap:XamlElementMapper>

Notes

• The wrapper will not wrap the properties that use element style setters
