Solution 3

Thanks all but I write this staff.

We need constructor

C#

public TestClass(Mainwindow window)
{
   window.myCanvas.Background = Brushes.Red;
}

And write on MainWindow

C#

var obj = TestClass(this);

And All is Done.

Hello,

you can not directly access your canvas object in other class you have to create public property inside the MainWindow.

C#

namespace WpfApplication1
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }

//here you can set any property value of your canvas. this is sample demonstrate code how to access not complete running example anymore.
    public Control myCanvas { get; set;}
}

You need a reference to your MainWindow. You can get the reference through Application.Current.MainWindow. All you have to do is cast it to MainWindow type:

C#

var canvas = ((MainWindow)Application.Current.MainWindow).Get_Canvas;

However I don't think that accesing controls from another type is a good idea. You should reconsider why you need a reference to 'myCanvas' from another type. There is a reason why objects instantiated in xaml are private.

Hope that helps.
