How to change the textblock property in cs code?

[blackuGT]

I created TextBlock control with x:Name property inside .axaml, but I can't access to this control inside code (ViewModel).

I found code like this:

this.FindControl<control>("name"); but it's not working with "this" reference inside ViewModel.

Code like this not working as well:

IControl controler = ControlExtensions.FindControl<TextBlock>("statusBlock"); controler.IsVisible = true;

"this" is supposed to be a reference to the your view (control or window) when using FindControl.

Still "this" is not working inside ViewModels... I tried ControlExtensions.FindControl<TextBlock>(IControl, string) but I don't know which is the reference of IControl here... >(IControl, string)<

Your ViewModel should not know anything about your View so the MVVM way of solving this is binding a property in your ViewModel to your TextBlock.
