Find control position on canvas

Question

I have a canvas which contains a few textblocks and I need to find the top, left corner points that I assigned them in xaml. How can I get those two properties? When I loop through the framework elements on the canvas I can't seem to find those to properties listed.

Answer 1

Here some examples how to get the values:

foreach(FrameworkElement fe in canvas.Children){

   // example 0
   double top=(double)fe.GetValue(Canvas.TopProperty);
   double left=(double)fe.GetValue(Canvas.LeftProperty);

   // example 1
   double top1=Canvas.GetTop(fe);
   double left1=Canvas.GetLeft(fe);

}
