How to open a User Control in UWP

Question

I can't seem to find a method for the Usercontrol class that allows you to open a user control.

I know if you use windows Forms or WPF, you can use the Usercontrol.show() method, however UWP does not have a Usercontrol.show() method or anything equivalent to that.

I have also tried setting the visibility to visible and that does not work either

Here is the Usercontrol UWP class documentation Usercontrol

Any ideas?

In UWP, you can understand UserControl as a container in which some controls are placed.

For a control container, the way to display it on the interface is to put it in the visual tree.

UserControl does not have a Show method. To show it, you can do this:

<Grid x:Name="RootGrid">
    <MyUserControl .../>
</Grid>

or add it in code-behind

RootGrid.Children.Add(new MyUserControl());
