Causing a UserControl to remove itself (WPF)

Question

In winforms I usually do Parent.Controls.Remove(this); to have a UserControl remove itself. This isn't working for wpf. My control has button on it to remove the whole UserControl, any ideas how to accomplish this in wpf? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You will need to know the type of the Parent property to remove yourself from your Parent control.

All Panel type parents (Grid, WrapPanel, StackPanel) have the Children property:

i.e. for Grid:

((Grid)button.Parent).Children.Remove(this);

ContentControls (Button, ContentControl, Border) have Content:

i.e. for Button:

((Button)control.Parent).Content = null;
