button1.PerformClick() in wpf

Question

Why this code in WPF does not work ?

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(\"yes\");
    }
    pr         


        

Answer 1

Because PerformClick is a method on WindowsForms Button control:

Not on the WPF Button control:

To automate a button click, you might like to take a look at the UI automation framework:
