Why is the control inaccessible due to its protection level?

Question

I\'m trying to access a control\'s text property from program.cs and it says that it is inaccessible due to protected level. How can I fix this please?

Answer 1

Use x:FieldModifier="public" e.g.

as explained here: Modifying XAML named field visibility

In my case, I put UserControl in another DLL. WPF’s convention is to set all named fields as internal by default. Using the x:FieldModifier="public" has solved the issue.
