How to make a UserControl remove itself at runtime (in WPF)?

dispose, user-controls, wpf

Solution

In case your control has been added to any kind of container control (i.e. a class derived from Panel) the following should work:

((Panel)this.Parent).Children.Remove(this);

Problem

I have made a `userControl` consisting a few labels and checkboxes and an "x" button for removing itself when clicked. Considering that in my WPF application, the user can dynamically put as many of this `userControl` at runtime as he wants, AND that none of them will have a `name` attribute to address to, how exactly is it possible to remove a `UserControl` from the application, by clicking on it's -child- button "x" (i.e. inside the event handler of it's "x" button) ??? I've already looked a thousand places and found these particular two lines of code which DID'NT WORK : ``` ((Grid)button.Parent).Children.Remove(this); ((Button)control.Parent).Content = null; ```
