.NET Framework (current version)
Returns the number of children that the specified visual object contains.

Parameters
- reference
-
Type:
System.Windows::DependencyObject^
The parent visual that is referenced as a DependencyObject.
Use the GetChild method to retrieve a specified child of a parent visual.
The value of reference can represent either a Visual or Visual3D object, which is why the common base type DependencyObject is used here as a parameter type.
The following example shows how to enumerate all the descendants of a visual object. This is a technique you might use if you are interested in serializing all the rendering information of a visual object hierarchy or are performing analysis or alternative rendering.
