Solution 1

The same way, only with the appropriate class/method names.

You have to add controls to a container object (like a grid, border, etc). So, if your form has a grid with the name "LayoutRoot", you'd do this:

this.LayoutRoot.Children.Add(myConrol);

I would create the control and set its properties and *then* add it, but that's just the way I do it.

Solution 2

It will be better if you have a "container" like a Border or simply a Grid to add controls.

However if you want to do in a way similar to Winforms, here is how I tried and it worked:

C#

BitmapImage btm = new BitmapImage(new Uri("Winter.jpg",UriKind.Relative));
            Image img = new Image();
            img.Source = btm;            
           
            this.AddChild(img);

There is no picturebox in WPF.
