I'm a very early coder and using c# for desktop to start off and I heard I could code for windows phone using c# but it is so different it makes my head spin.

How do I hide a rectangle called "rctSquare1"? I'm used to typing "rctSquare1.Hide();" but that doesn't work and I cant find any answers...

Answer 1

try

rctSquare1.Visibility = Visibility.Hidden;

Update

What about that?

rctSquare1.Opacity = 0;

Answer 2

Set one of the following Visibility values on your element:

Setting it to Visibility.Hidden will leave empty space in your window where the element was (similar to SomeControl.Hide() in WinForms.

Do not display the element, and do not reserve space for it in layout.

rect.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;

Alternatively, Visibility.Collapsed will actually hide the element and collapse the empty space too. If your element is inside a grid, for example, then setting to Collapsed will cause the row to collapse as well (as long as you aren't setting an explicit height on the row, and there aren't any other elements in the row preventing it from collapsing).

Do not display the element, but reserve space for the element in layout.

rect.Visibility = Visibility.Hidden;
