add control to a windows presentation foundation in csharp

[stephen ryan]

I am trying to add some controls to a windows presentation foundation window in csharp.

the window opens and displays itself using the standard xaml declaration.

I then want to add controls using csharp directly, not using the associated xaml file.

which method in the window class do i use to add my new controls with and display them after the window is created and displayed.

I can only find methods such as addvisualchild

while this accepts my controls they do not display on the windows after issuing the show command

can anyone help me with this.

i dont want to use xaml to display the controls either.

many thanks
steve
