how can i find a child control in a grid by name?

You could use the GetVisualDescendants from the <code>System.Windows.Controls.Primitives</code> namespace.
<pre>
IEnumerable<type> o = ((DependencyObject)_myGrid).GetVisualDescendants().OfType<type>();

foreach(Type objChild in o)
{
if (objChild.Name == "name")
{
//Do something
}
}pre>


Here Type is the type of control you are looking for.
