How do you dynamically place a control on a canvas in Silverlight?

Question

I'm trying to place a control that I have created on my Canvas. The idea is to be able to dynamically add them on the fly. Like on a button click or at the end of a DispatchTimer. I have the following, but it doesn't work:

    FirstCircleControl mc = new FirstCircleControl();
    Canvas.SetLeft(mc, 100);
    Canvas.SetTop(mc, 100);

I don't see any control appear...

Answer 1

You need to add the control to the Canvas first.

yourCanvas.Children.Add(mc)
