I got an email notification of an answer to one of my questions on this forum, but it has no link, as before, to take me directly to the post. I wrote this in reply to that email:
This new way of notifying really stinks; please go back to the legacy way, with a link to the post itself. I don't have time to search back through all the old posts to locate the one referred to.
...but it bounced; so I am broadcasting my distaste, displeasure, and disdain for the dastardly downgrade of usability here in an "open letter"
The new type of notification (boo, hiss):

The Children collection contains only one hierarchical level of children. In your case, it seems it will find one item, a ScrollViewer. You could implement a recursive static method which implements a depth-first or breadth-first search to look
for elements of a particular type. This would be expensive.
