How to create a Label on the fly?

Question

I'm trying this:

Label

 

 

newlabel = new Label();
newlabel.Content = "Hello World.";
newlabel.Parent = StkPnl;
//StkPnl.Controls.Add(newlabel);

...but "Parent" is readonly, and there is no "Controls" property for StkPnl (a StackPanel)

Answer 1

Why "Label" is at the top of Mount Everest, and the rest of my code is in the Mariana Trench, I don't know. When I pasted it in, they were like peas in a pod.

Answer 2

You just add it to the StackPanel, using Children - don't worry about setting Parent:

Label newlabel = new Label();
newlabel.Content = "Hello World.";
StkPnl.Children.Add(newlabel);

Also: For code formatting, use the little </> icon in the upper right - it does a better job than pasting, and avoids the weird separations.
