Accessing XAML object in codebehind(WPF)

Question

I'm creating object in XAML like this

<Window.Resources>
        <local:DataReceiver x:Key="request">
        </local:DataReceiver>
    </Window.Resources>

how can I call this objects method from codebehind?

DataReceiver request = this.TryFindResource("request") as DataReceiver;
if (request != null)
{
   // your code here
}

Should probably be 'as DataReceiver' rather than 'as Style' :-) – Goblin Sep 13 '10 at 18:57
problem is that i need to call exactly methode of the object that i created in xlm, without creating new one =\ – ZAA Sep 13 '10 at 19:00
ZAA - this finds the exact object that was instantiated in XAML. – Nathan Kovner Sep 13 '10 at 19:02
