I’ve tried to Google for this but maybe I’m not forming my query right, ‘cos I am getting a lot of nonsense and irrelevance back. Probably too simple a question. Apologies it’s been a while since I last did Silverlight!

If I have a XAML element:

<Image Canvas.Top='128' x:Name='img4_7' Width='180.3' Height='117' Source='monkey1.jpg' Stretch='Fill' Canvas.Left='-3.344' Opacity='0.595'/>

How can I get that in JavaScript using the x:Name? I’m looking for something like getElementById(), but for Silverlight. I almost want something like this:

img4_7=rootElement.children.getItem('img4_7');

Obviously, this doesn’t work!

I’m not using ASP.NET AJAX.

Thanks for any help for this noob question!

  1. Figured it out.

    Need to use control.content.findName()

    Here’s my handLoad, for others to benefit:

    handleLoad: function(control, userContext, rootElement)  {     this.control = control;      // Sample event hookup:      rootElement.addEventListener('MouseLeftButtonDown', Silverlight.createDelegate(this, this.handleMouseDown));      this.img4_7=control.content.findName('img4_7');       if (this.img4_7) {         this.img4_7.addEventListener('MouseEnter', Silverlight.createDelegate(this,this.handleMouseEnter));         this.img4_7.addEventListener('MouseLeave',Silverlight.createDelegate(this,this.handleMouseLeave));      }   },
