I'm getting such error

The name 'ScoreBtn' does not exist in the current context

and

The name 'LvlBttn' does not exist in the current context

on c# side but I can get text of Label x:Name="Lines". Where is mistake and how can I fix it?

Thanks for any help,

This will get you the Label for the button named Score. "ScoreBtn"is the name of the label element. It's not as complicated as I thought it would be. 

var label = (Label)Score.Template.FindName("ScoreBtn", Score);

You really ought to listen to Peter Duniho, write a viewmodel, and bind the label's Content property to a viewmodel property, but if you don't already have a viewmodel, you may not want to rewrite your entire project. Since you don't have a single Binding in your XAML, I imagine that might be the case.
