Question

I have a base class with the following:

public class BodyBase : UserControl
{

}

I then have two WPF user controls (WelcomeBody and SettingsBody) that inherit that base like:

public partial class WelcomeBody : BodyBase
{
    public WelcomeBody()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
}

I have also changed each XAML file to reflect this BaseBody and have no problem there. The designer is fine, and I can edit each control with no problem.

I placed BodyBase on my WPF form like so:

 <my:BodyBase x:Name="ApplicationBody" SnapsToDevicePixels="True" Background="#FFAA1111" Panel.ZIndex="-99" HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Row="1" />

I then have on button clicked:

private void WelcomeClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("test");
    ApplicationBody = new WelcomeBody();
}

Now at run time if I click the button, I get the message box, and then once I click ok on the message box nothing happens. I debugged and there are no exceptions thrown, nothings is wrong other than the fact it does not work.

What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do do get that user control to switch.

Thanks!

I had to do

ApplicationBody.Content = new WelcomeBody();
