This is probably a generic WPF question but I want to refer to a checkbox control in code (vb) .  The control is on the the maximized template of the XamTilesControl.

<!--Start of the maximized template-->
<igTiles:XamTilesControl.ItemTemplateMaximized>
<DataTemplate>
		<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">

...

<CheckBox Name="cbGetUsingService" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" IsChecked="{Binding SolutionIsGet, Mode=TwoWay}" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center"/>

In Code:

Public Sub GoButton()

      Dim bGet as Boolean = somemagicfunction("cbGetUsingService").IsChecked

End Sub

As a workaround I added the property to the datasource and bound it.  Now in code I can just refer to the datasource.  But, how would you do it with an unbound control?

Thanks.
