I have a main window in Which I have a button. When i click that button i want to show a dialog box which i have made using a page. I am using 

Page1 P = new Page();     //Page which i want to show over my main window 

 this.P.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;

when i used Window to make dialog box it is working fine but with pages there is no Show property associated. Does anyone know Of any method to display page over Mainwindow.

A Page cannot be shown as a window. For this you need to use Window, both can host the same XAML content, you just need to use the right container!

See this question:

Page vs Window in WPF?

  • I am bit confused,but do you mean there is no way to show a page over a Window. – murmansk Jan 17 '12 at 06:28

    correct - see the referenced question, pages need to be hosted in a Frame or NavigationWindow. They are not designed for this purpose. Why not just cut and paste your XAML into a Window? Or use a UserControl? – ColinE Jan 17 '12 at 06:29
