# How to: Handle a Loaded Event
This example shows how to handle the <xref:System.Windows.FrameworkElement.Loaded?displayProperty=nameWithType> event, and an appropriate scenario for handling that event. The handler  creates a <xref:System.Windows.Controls.Button> when the page loads.  
  
## Example  
 The following example uses [!INCLUDE[TLA#tla_xaml](../../../includes/tlasharptla-xaml-md.md)] together with a code-behind file.  
  
 [!code-xaml[FELoaded#XAML](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/FELoaded/CSharp/default.xaml#xaml)]  
  
 [!code-csharp[FELoaded#Handler](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/FELoaded/CSharp/default.xaml.cs#handler)]
 [!code-vb[FELoaded#Handler](~/samples/snippets/visualbasic/VS_Snippets_Wpf/FELoaded/VisualBasic/default.xaml.vb#handler)]
