Windows requirements

API contract
Windows.Foundation.UniversalApiContract (introduced in v8.0)

Remarks

When a UIElement is first created, XamlRoot returns null. After it's parented to a live XAML object, it will return the same XamlRoot object as its parent. A common scenario for XamlRoot to be null is if you access the property from the constructor of your app.
