Adding buttons at runtime

Hey, im just wondering if i can make a user control in Expression blend (a button) and add it to my form dynamically at runtime but with changes such as the button.content.

Thanks, Tim

I don't know what Expression blend is but you can create any control dynamically and add it to a container like a Form or GroupBox at runtime by using the container's Controls property.

Expression Blend is just a nice program that helps you design better WPF applications then visual studio.
I was going to add the buttons to a panel but im not sure what you mean by the container's Controls property.

Thanks, Tim

Unfortunately, I don't know anything about WPF. Windows Forms have a Controls property which is basically a collection that works like any collection. You can add, remove and clear stuff from it. As a matter of fact, all controls in a Windows Forms application have such a property.

Yes i now understand i can add buttons dynamically like this
Dim btn As New Button
Controls.Add(btn)
however i want to add custom buttons i have made in expression blend in the same way i did a default button above.
i dont know if it helps but the button i made in expression blend opens in visual studio as file called "newbutton.xaml"

This should actually be in the WPF section... I'll ask a mod to move it...
