Tabcontrol in WPF C#

now I'm using the tabcontrol to arrange my UI. At the first, I put my button outside my tabcontrol; however, when I put the button into the tabcontrol, it gave message, Object reference not set to an object instance. Does anyone know why I got this message ?

Below is my xaml:

I've seen this before, its code that references things in your form before you create the form. Check the order of what you are calling.
