Silverlight UserControl Button page Navigation

David Smith

Can someone please place me in the right direction.

I dont want to use hyperlink buttons. I want to use a normal silver light button from a usercontrol xaml.

At the moment I have no clue how to navigate to another page using a regular button. I know how to do it with Hyperlinks. I only want to use buttons at the moment.

Thanks Priya you have been truly helpful.

I have a few more questions.

Is there a value or a way i can iterate through all the buttons via the secondpage an do the Visibility.Collapsed;
for all the buttons I do not need.

private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            Button theButton = sender as Button;
            string url = theButton.Tag.ToString();
            this.Frame.Navigate(new Uri(url, UriKind.Relative));

            //I want to the foreach in this location
            button1.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
        }

This is what i dont want to do below

this.SetConfigButton.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
      this.richTextBoxFilename.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
      this.labelConfigSettings.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
      this.labelFrames.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
      this.labelOperator.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
      this.labelPath.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
      this.labelTestType.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
      this.labelPartNumber.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
      this.labelPartNumber.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
      this.labelSerialNumber.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
      this.labelInformation.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;

Navigate to second Page then ,it will be,
http://localhost:6680/drawlineTestPage.aspx#/Views/SecondPage.xaml.

Navigate to Third Page then ,it will be,

http://localhost:6680/drawlineTestPage.aspx#/Views/ThirdPage.xaml

like this.

So basically if i go to the third page

it will be something like this

http://localhost:6680/drawlineTestPage.aspx

on click the SecondButton which is on MainPage,url changes to,

http://localhost:6680/drawlineTestPage.aspx#/Views/SecondPage.xaml

on click the ThirdButton which is on MainPage,url changes to,

http://localhost:6680/drawlineTestPage.aspx#/Views/SecondPage.xaml/ThirdPage.xaml

and so far so on.

Can you email me [email protected]

Darnell,

As i said mainPage is a root page ,so the element which is on mainpage is always be there.

As we doing in asp Response.Redirect we are going to other page tht page url we can see.

in silverlight one default page i.e TestPage.aspx,url is same when we navigate to other page.

http://localhost:6680/drawlineTestPage.aspx

on click the SecondButton which is on MainPage,url changes to,

http://localhost:6680/drawlineTestPage.aspx#/Views/SecondPage.xaml

Thanks.

button1.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;

What does this particular line do, it this a valid fix. It seems like we are just hiding the button and thats its, I just made a example to go from page 1, to page 2, and to page 3, and all three buttons was still on the page.

Make visibility collapsed of tht button after navigate to secondpage.

private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            Button theButton = sender as Button;
            string url = theButton.Tag.ToString();
            this.Frame.Navigate(new Uri(url, UriKind.Relative));
            button1.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
        }

Thanks.

Yes ,bcoz our button is on MainPage ,and also we have navigation frame on mainpage which help to navigate to other pages in silverlight. Mainpage is our rootpage(UserControl),we can navigate to any pages which will added in frames ,which is present in our rootpage.

This is exactly what i want, it went to the second page. But the button was still there on the page. I guess because of the main page.
