I am developing a WPF application and I need to get a point to the main window of application inside a control. I am using Caliburn Micro.

Application.Current.MainWindow is null

How can I get a reference to the MainWindow of application in Caliburn Micro?

That's funny, I've just answered this in another post... Try setting the Application.Current.MainWindow property in the Loaded event in the MainWindow.xaml.cs file:

private void MainWindow_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    Application.Current.MainWindow = this;
}
