<Window x:Class="WPF_Material_Theme.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" 
        Title="Credit Card Payment" 
        xmlns:syncfusionskin ="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.SfSkinManager;assembly=Syncfusion.SfSkinManager.WPF"
        syncfusionskin:SfSkinManager.Theme="{syncfusionskin:SkinManagerExtension ThemeName=MaterialLight}">
