Title Body

I need to make areas of XAML printable and so have make this button handler: private void Button_Click_Print(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { Customer.PrintReport(PrintableArea); } And in PrintReport I pack the frameworkelement into other elements in order to print it in a slightly different way than it is on the screen, like this: public void PrintReport(FrameworkElement fwe) { StackPanel sp = new StackPanel(); sp.Children.Add(fwe); TextBlock tb = new TextBlock(); tb.Text = "hello"; sp.Children.Add(tb); PrintDialog dialog = new PrintDialog(); if (dialog.ShowDialog() == true) { dialog.PrintVisual(sp, "Print job"); } } But the above gives me the following error : Specified element is already the logical child of another element. Disconnect it first. Is there an easy way to clone the FrameworkElement so that I can manipulate the copy, print it, and then forget about it, leaving the original element in the XAML being displayed on the screen intact? Something like this I would imagine: FrameworkElement fwe2 = FrameworkElement.Clone(fwe); //pseudo-code
