    copied!<p>Its a bit ridiculous that I cant find a simple answer to this. My goal is to attach a new image control while the application is running.</p> <pre><code>img = new System.Windows.Controls.Image(); img.Margin = new Thickness(200, 10, 0, 0); img.Width = 32; img.Height = 32; img.Source = etc; </code></pre> <p>Ive tried </p> <pre><code>this.AddChild(img);// says must be a single element this.AddLogicalChild(img);// does nothing this.AddVisualChild(img);// does nothing </code></pre> <p>It was never this difficult to add a element with forms. How can I simply attach this new element to the main window (not another control) so that it will show up.</p> <p>Solved it, I named the grid main, and from there I was able to access the children attribute and the add function</p> <pre><code>main.children.add(img); &lt;Window x:Class="Crysis_Menu.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" Loaded="Window_Loaded" AllowsTransparency="False" Background="White" Foreground="{x:Null}" WindowStyle="SingleBorderWindow"&gt; &lt;Grid Name="main"&gt; &lt;Button Content="Run" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,12,0,0" Name="btnRun" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="151" Click="btnRun_Click" /&gt; &lt;TextBox Height="259" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,40,0,0" Name="tbStatus" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="151" /&gt; &lt;/Grid&gt; &lt;/Window&gt; </code></pre>
