Removing an Element From a Border

Question

I have an element inside a Border, and want to move that element to another location. However, I first need to remove it from the Border. Panel controls (such as Grid & StackPanel) have a Children property on which I would call the Remove method, but because Border is not a Panel, I cannot do this. What can I do to remove the element from the Border so that I can use it somewhere else (such as adding it to a Grid or StackPanel)? Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A.

Border has Child property, if you set it to null, you can also remove child element.

var rect = TestRect;
// remove child here
TestBorder.Child = null;
// add to another panel
TestGrid.Children.Add(TestRect);

Thanks.

Usually when I use a Border I put inside it a Grid or a StackPanel and this reduces your problem to make the same action you do with any other Grid or StackPanel.

<Border >
<Grid x:Name="Container">
<!--Here you can add all children and then remove them-->

</Grid>       

</Border>
