Creating button and placing it on certain xaml window without using xaml code

Question

I made a button, set up his margins, height, width in my Window.xaml.cs file:

Button b = new Button(); b.Margin = new Thickness(10, 10, 10, 10); b.Content= "Button"; b.Height = 50; b.Width = 50;

I want it to show up on my Window.xaml window when i start the program. Using only these few properties is not showing it.

I could go in Window.xaml file and type in grid or wherever:

<Button Margin="10,10,10,10" Content="Button" Height="50" Width="50"></Button>

And it would show this button in the widnow, but using only these properites (in .cs code), is not enough

Although this question is probably easy to answer, it so hard to know where your understanding is at, that i am not sure any answer would help. Also there is a great need of more information on your part — TheGeneral

You have to add it to a container. How you do it depends on the container, eg. myWindow.AddChild(myButton) or myGrid.Children.Add(myButton). stackoverflow.com/questions/311131/add-wpf-control-at-runtime and wpf-tutorial.com/xaml/basic-xaml — Arie

I assume you only instantiated the button. The button doesn't know where it should be on the screen. It must be assigned to a named parent control like a grid or stackpanel.

XAML:

<Window> <Grid x:Name="RootGrid"> </Grid> </Window>

Code behind:

RootGrid.Children.Add(b);
