 ### WPF 
 
 You can register the license key in App constructor of **App.xaml.cs** in C#. If App constructor not available in **App.xaml.cs**, create the "App()" constructor in **App.xaml.cs** and register the license key inside the constructor. In Visual Basic, register the license code in **App.xaml.vb**.

 ## Validate the License Key Using ValidateLicense() Method
 
 * Register the license key properly by calling RegisterLicense("License Key") method with the license key. 
 
 * Once the license key is registered, it can be validated by using ValidateLicense("Platform.WPF") method. This ensures that the license key is valid for the platform and version you are using. For reference please check the following example.
 
+{% tabs %}
+{% highlight c# %}
+using Syncfusion.Licensing;
+
+//Register Syncfusion license key 
+Syncfusion.Licensing.SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR LICENSE KEY");
+
+//Validate the registered license key
+bool isValid = SyncfusionLicenseProvider.ValidateLicense(Platform.WPF);
+{% endhighlight %}
+{% endtabs %}

 ![LicenseKeyValidationMethod](licensing-images/license-validation-method.png)
 
 * If ValidateLicense() method returns true, registered license key is valid and can proceed with deployment.
