Adding controls to a from C# 2015, this.Controls.Add(bla) method not found?

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser();
        this.Controls.Add(wb);
    }
}

This results in an error:

'MainWindow' does not contain a definition for 'Controls' and no extension method accepting a first argument of type 'MainWindow' could be found

Whats wrong here? This is a WPF Application. I'm new to C#. I find it on internet that to add controls to the form the function is

this.Controls.Add(fdfdf)

But here this doesn't contain Controls.

In WPF it should be Children. In WPF you need to add items as Childrens of layout panels like your main Grid. For example if you have a Grid set it's name to grid1 and then in the code you can:

grid1.Children.Add(fdfdf)

You can add a component like your WebBrowser directly to the content of the Window.

In WPF you are doing it like this:

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser();
        this.Content = wb;
    }
}

But I suggest to do this via the XAML.
