Page Navigating

There are tow main ways to navigate between pages: use hyperlinks and via code

Use hyperlinks

Just simply add HyperlinkButtons in your page.xaml file.

<HyperlinkButton Content="Page1" NavigateUri="/Page1.xaml" Height="30" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,10,0,0" Name="hyperlinkButton1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="200" />

<HyperlinkButton Content="Page2" NavigateUri="/Page2.xaml" Height="30" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,50,0,0" Name="hyperlinkButton2" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="200" />

Via code

First, add Buttons in your page.xaml file.

<Button Content="Page1" Height="72" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,120,0,0" Name="Page1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="160" Click="PageButton_Click" />

<Button Content="Page2" Height="72" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,220,0,0" Name="Page2" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="160" Click="PageButton_Click" />

Second, add the click event in your page.xaml.cs file.

private void PageButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

    Button clickedButton = (Button)sender;

    switch (clickedButton.Name)

    {

        case "Page1":

            NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/Page1.xaml", UriKind.Relative));

            break;

        case "Page2":

            NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/Page2.xaml", UriKind.Relative));

            break;

        default:

            break;

    }

}
