how to find dynamically created CheckBox checked in wpf

Question

I created Check Box dynamically inside a wrap panel in wpf. How to find the checked check box in code behind.

As long as you name the checkbox, you should be able to find it easily — BugFinder

If you want a more compact not reusable and specialized version..

WrapPanel wp = new WrapPanel();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
    CheckBox chb = new CheckBox();
    chb.Name = string.Format("Id{0}", i);
    wp.Children.Add(chb);
}

foreach (CheckBox el in wp.Children)
{
    if (el.Name == "Id3")
    {
        return el;
    }
}

If you are looking for the text of the selected checkbox do somthing like thes:

         private void checkBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
       string a =checkBox1.Text;
    }
