How to control WPF window from C# code?

Question

I am a bit confused regarding C# WPF. How can I set a WPF window's properties from C# code? For example, trying ShowInTaskbar = false; doesn't hide the window's taskbar button, I actually have to do it in XAML for it to work. And that wouldn't be a problem, but I wonder, how do I control the GUI from C# code when using WPF.

This may sound like a retarded question, but I am trying to transition from WinForms to WPF.

you simply need the instance/reference of Window then you can do whatever you want with it in code.

try windowInstance.ShowInTaskBar = false in code it should work

That's why I am confused. The window instance doesn't have a ShowInTaskbar property, it has ShowInTaskbarProperty and it is readonly.
