in windows form application its so easy, you can set modifier of that control to True and you can reach that control from instance of that mainWindow, but in WPF I can't declare a pubic control, How ca I do this?

In WPF actually all controls are public. Are you sure you cant reach controls from codebehind ?

XML

Just declare your control like this to make it public:

<TextBox x:Name="textBox1" x:FieldModifier="public" />

You can then access it from another control.
