Adding WPF UserControl to WPF Window in code

is there a way to add a user control to a WPF Window created in code? I cant find a Children property in the Window Class. In xaml It would look like this:

<Window x:Class="MyWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" 
        xmlns:MyUserControls="clr-namespace:MyUserControls" 
        Title="" Height="Auto" Width="550" ResizeMode="NoResize">
    <MyUserControls:UC1 x:Name="uc1" />
</Window>

In code I tried something like this:

Window myWindow = new Window;
UC1 uc1 = new UC1;
myWindow.Children.Add(UC1);

Thanks for your help

A Children property is there if you have an ItemsControl, i.e. a control which can have multiple children. A Window is a ContentControl, i.e. it only has one "child", the Content. So the code should be:

myWindow.Content = UC1;
