With WPF, how to retrieve the controls contained by a DataTemplate?

Basically I have a DataTemplate that contains Border, StackPanel and stuff, and later I use this DataTemplate as a ContentTemplate in many ContentControl(s).

These ContentControl(s) are named, but from the C# code I don't manage to find a way to get back my Border, StackPanel and stuff from them.

Any ideas?

You should be able to do somthing like this:

// Finding textBlock from the DataTemplate that is set on that ContentPresenter
DataTemplate myDataTemplate = myContentPresenter.ContentTemplate;
TextBlock myTextBlock = (TextBlock)myDataTemplate.FindName("textBlock", myContentPresenter);

And you can find more about it here: How to: Find DataTemplate-Generated Elements
