There are two ways to get controls in your window:

1. Do the whole designing stuff in the Designer of VisualStudio

2. Add the controls by code. Here is a short, simple sample of creating a window and putting controls in it:

   var window = new Window();
   var stackPanel = new StackPanel { Orientation = Orientation.Vertical };
   stackPanel.Children.Add(new Label { Content = "Label" });
   stackPanel.Children.Add(new Button { Content = "Button" });
   window.Content = stackPanel;
