This is the first of a series of blogposts about the new features of Silverlight 3.0. It starts with the Navigation Framework introduced in Silverlight 3.0.
In the world of web we are used to passing urls to each other, so we always get the proper page without surfing through the whole website. Not to mention the search crawlers which access data (data in html pages) directly through these links. However with Flash and Silverlight this becomes a little more complicated. The navigation inside the Silverlight application is not tied to the browsers url field. You cannot reference a specific page in your silverlight application with a simple url. Or at least it would take a hell of a lot code to support it. Well, in Silverlight 3.0 we have the Navigation Framework which pretty much solves the problem stated above.
