WPF - FindName Returns null when it should not

Question

FindName is broken for me :(

The object I am looking for is there. I have proof.

Here is the scenario:

ToggleButton button = (ToggleButton)s

Little late to the party (and not actually answer to OP question), but

when you add elements dynamically, they are not findable by FindName. You need to register them by calling RegisterName.

Example:

Button myButton = new Button();
myButton.Content = generateNumber();
myButton.Name = "button_" + generateNumber;

RegisterName(myButton.Name, myButton);

Panel.Children.Add(myButton);
object o = Panel.FindName(myButton.Name);

Maybe someone might find this useful.
