Check if polygon has been clicked

Question

Hi I have added a polygon to a map using:

//Creating a Polygon
Polygon MyPolygon = new Polygon(); 
MyPolygon.Points.Add(new Point(0, 0));
MyPolygon.Points.Add(new Point(95, 0));
MyPolygon.Points.Add(new Point(95, 35));
MyPolygon.Points.Add(new Point(10, 35));
MyPolygon.Points.Add(new Point(0, 75)); // 

MyPolygon.Stroke = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Black);
MyPolygon.Fill = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Black);

//Creating a MapOverlay and adding the Grid to it.
MapOverlay MyOverlay = new MapOverlay();
MyOverlay.Content = MyPolygon;
MyOverlay.GeoCoordinate = 
new GeoCoordinate(coordinate.Latitude,     coordinate.Longitude);
MyOverlay.PositionOrigin = new Point(0, 1.0);

//Creating a MapLayer and adding the MapOverlay to it            
mapLayer.Add(MyOverlay);

MyPolygon.MouseLeftButtonUp += new MouseButtonEventHandler(MyPolygon_Click);

...

private void MyPolygon_Click(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    TextBlock nametext;
    nametext = new TextBlock { Text = "1234" };          
}

I need to check if the user clicks on this polygon. Can anyone help me with this please?

Assuming a store app, the following code below is a quick and dirty sample that will react and add a TextBlock at the location you click on or touch the screen.

XAML

<Page
    x:Class="StoreApp_PolyTest.MainPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    mc:Ignorable="d">

    <Canvas 
        Name="canvas"
        Background="{StaticResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}"
        Loaded="Canvas_Loaded">

    </Canvas>
</Page>

            var point = e.GetCurrentPoint(this);
            Canvas.SetLeft(nameText, point.Position.X);
            Canvas.SetTop(nameText, point.Position.Y);
            canvas.Children.Add(nameText);
        }
