Question

I have a very simple control. It just displays a textbox.

<my:usercontrol x:Name="myControl" />

I would like to use my control as following:

<my:usercontrol x:Name="myControl">
    <sdk:Label x:Name="InnerControl" Content="Hello World" />
</my:usercontrol>

How do I gain access to the “InnerControl” from within “myControl”?

Answer 1

Since you defined a name for your Label, you can access it in the codebehind file of your UserControl by using its name

Example:

// ctor
public partial class usercontrol : UserControl {
  InitializeComponent();
  var Label = this.Content; // This is the label (InnerControl)
}
