The Children collection of a Layout contains all the children added throught the public add/remove interface. Internal children will not be exposed through this collection.

The following shows the creation of a layout, setting a property, and adding the children in the object initializer.

  var stack = new StackLayout {
    Spacing = 20,
    Children = {
      new Label {Text = "Hello World!"},
      new Button {Text = "Click Me!"}
    }
  };
