How to access control in Code Behind that was 'created' in XAML

Question

I have a control I 'created' in XAML that I want to access through the Code Behind.

<wincontrols:LiveTileFrameElement Name="PendingAuthsFrame1" Text="Pending" />  this.PendingAuthsFrame1.Text = "334"; 

However, I get a Build Error on the second statement above stating MyApp.MainWindow does not contain a definition for 'PendingAuthsFrame1' and no extension method.... it keeps going but you get the idea I'm guessing.

What am I missing or doing wrong?

Answer 1

Use x:Name instead of Name. That should do the trick.
