Navigate pages in a frame when clicking on menu items

Hi Guys,

I am new to WPF and having trouble with the basics of menuitems and frames.

I have a main window where i have created menu items and a frame. what i am trying to do is on clicking any menu item i want the corresponding page to load up in the frame. I have called the frame "Main"

one of my menu items is task updates and i have created a click event "Taskupdates". is this correct?

<MenuItem Header="TASK UPDATES" Click="taskupdates"/>

The mainwindow xaml.cs has the code below.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Navigation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
namespace LES
{
///
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
///
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
Application.Current.MainWindow.WindowState = WindowState.Maximized;
}
private void taskupdates(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Main.Content = new CFM_Task_Updates();

}
}
}

What i am trying to do is on clicking task updates , i want the CFM _Task_updates.xaml page to load in the frame called "main" in my main window.

how do i do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated .

Cheers

You can use the Navigate function or Source property of the frame
