XAML Content Element Usage
<object>
<UIElementCollection .../>
</object>
Content Model: Panel enforces a strong content model for child content. The Children collection of a Panel element can only consist of UIElement objects. Adding a UIElement child to a Panel implicitly adds it to the UIElementCollection for the Panel element.
Do not use this collection with derived Panel classes; use the InternalChildren collection instead.
This property returns nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if the Panel is data bound.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the Children property to add a UIElement child to a Panel element.
StackPanel myStackPanel = new StackPanel();
Button myButton = new Button();
myButton.Content = "Press me";
myStackPanel.Children.Add(myButton);
