What's the correct way to find and set the text for an existing TextBlock dynamically? I can't seem to find the relevant tutorial anywhere.

XAML 

<TextBlock x:Name="PageTitle" Style="{StaticResource BodyTextBlockStyle}" />

C# 

var txtTitle =???;
txtTitle.Text = "Hello World";

    Hello,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    The x:Name uniquely identifies object elements for access to the instantiated object from code-behind or general code. So if you want to get or set the text of TextBlock in code-behind, just using the specified x:Name which holds a reference to the TextBlock. For example:

    .cs: 

    string txtTitle = PageTitle.Text; //get Text
PageTitle.Text = "Hello World"; //set Text
