Adding a Control to the Reflector

The C1Reflector control can accept Silverlight UI controls. To illustrate this feature, this topic will have you add a standard Silverlight Button to the reflector. Once it is added to the control, you will see the control and its reflection in the C1Reflector control.

At Design Time in Blend

To add a control, complete the following steps:

Under the Objects and Timeline tab, select All for a list of all available controls.
In the list of controls, select the Button icon and then use a drag-and-drop operation to add it to the C1Reflector container.

In XAML

To add a control, place the following markup between the <c1ext:C1Reflector> and </c1ext:C1Reflector> tags:

XAML	Copy Code
<Button Content="Button"></Button>

In Code

To add a control, complete the following steps:

Add x:Name=C1Reflector1 to the <c1ext:C1Reflector> tag. This will give the control a unique identifier that you can use to call it in code.
Switch to Code view and add the following beneath the InitializeComponent() method:

Visual Basic	Copy Code
'Create a button object and name it Dim Button1 As New Button() Button1.Content = "Button" 'Set the C1Reflector control's content to the button C1Reflector1.Content = Button1

C#	Copy Code
//Create a button object and name it Button Button1 = new Button(); Button1.Content = "Button"; //Set the C1Reflector control's content to the button C1Reflector1.Content = Button1;

Run the program.
