Research direction

Start in DropDownButton.cs at the GetContextMenu event handler and inspect the reported condition and nearby declarations. Build the project to reproduce the syntax and name-resolution errors, then verify that the handler compiles without an undeclared children reference and that the relevant context-menu behavior remains intact.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This line in the GetContextMenu event handler:

if( child is FrameworkElement children && children.ContextMenu != null && children.ContextMenu.IsOpen )

will not compile. I'm not sure what "children" is supposed to represent, as there is no matching declaration in the module, nor is it an argument passed to the event handler. When I remove the first "children" from the line, the syntax error goes away, but I'm still left with a "name does not exist in this context" issue for "children." I'm not sure enough of the intent of this code to fix the problem without asking for advice.
