Can anyone give me an example of using a textbox to get user input?

Question

Textboxes shouldn't be this hard to access.  I want to get a few pertinent info pieces from my user for a process and am trying to access some textboxes that I have created on either a pane or a window.  Am not able to find a simple way to get the text out of the textbox.

I figured out a way that works for me.  In the Dockpane.xaml, add an x:Name=     property to the TextBox like this:

<TextBox x:Name="txtWatPolyElev" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="23"................

Then in the Dockpane.xaml.cs in the Button_Click method, access the text using the name like this:

string strElev = txtWatPolyElev.Text;

Simple and it works for me.
