Pity UriMapping is sealed.

In my scenario I've derived and created my custom UriMapper, but I want the UriMapping to have an additional property to be able to set a mapping to be remapped.

i.e. first from {contacts} to ?type=contact, and then attach all other parameters.

The current implementation of UriMapper is verbose and not too efficient, hope to see it improved.

How can I do "destroy" for a page when user navigate to another page ?

I need this because dynamics objects are creating in my Page1 constructor and error occurs when user navigate to Page2 and return to Page1 ("La propriété 'System.Windows.Controls.ContentControl.Content' est définie plusieurs fois" => 'System.Windows.Controls.ContentControl.Content' property is define more on time)

Can refer to the content other than XAML, (ex. html) in frame navigation.

Basics of navigation:Frame in Microsoft Expression Blend 3 Project (silverlight)

I just want to do a very basic thing: to show two different XAML pages, say, Page1.xaml and Page2.xaml in two lateral areas of the MainPage.xaml.

As far as I understood from the manual, the container for the “Page” element is Frame. So, the code in the MainPage.xaml is the following:

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:navigation="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Navigation" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:TesteFrameWork"

x:Class="TesteFrameWork.MainPage"

Width="640" Height="480">

Unfortunately, the system fails to show the second page Page2.xaml, showing Page1.xaml instead.

Is there any way to walk around this difficulty -- use a container other than Frame or something else???

Hi,

Does this.NavigationService.Navigate work inside the UserControl page <UserControl x:Class="Test2.MainPage". ?

The this.NavigationService.Navigate is not available when I type it in the UserControl page. Is there a work around solution?

TIA

Nick

In previous post I wanted to say: each time I come to page, new instance of page is created. And it stays in memory forever?

RE: The Silverlight 3 Navigation Framework

Mladen — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 17:58:42 GMT

Hi, good job, we realy do need something like this framework.

I've tried to analyze memory footprint on default empty template project.

Is it possible that page is constructed each time I come to this page and it stays in memory forever?

RE: The Silverlight 3 Navigation Framework

Juan — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 23:13:22 GMT

Is there a way to dispose the previous page (xaml) after the frame loads the next one? I mean... If we use the same frame for every pages, eventually it will have all the pages loaded in memory, right?

Is there a version of the demo app that works with the released Silverlight 3 version? When I open the sample code, I get numerous errors.

RE: The Silverlight 3 Navigation Framework

Sepp — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:13:56 GMT

Hi,

is there a opportunity to give information back from page control to frame control?

look at my page www.born2codebasic.net

in frame control I do have a link to 'Sing in'. After singning in I want to change the text (or state) to log out. And give the link to my demo shop and so on free. Does anybody have an idea how I can solve this?

thank you

Sepp

In the final SL3 release we have to put the uriMapper's name in the navigation:Frame :

navigation:Frame x:Name="MainContent" NavigationFailed="MainContent_NavigationFailed"
HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" VerticalContentAlignment="Stretch"
Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0"
UriMapper="{StaticResource uriMapper}"
Margin="30,0,30,0" Source="Home" />

The NavigationContext property of the Page class allows you to access this QueryString and the parameters defined in it. Look again at the NavigationService and NavigationContext section of the article and if you have any question, don't hesitate to ask again! ;)

P.S. I forgot to sign in ... :)

RE: The Silverlight 3 Navigation Framework - xaml query string

Mark Sutton — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:48:39 GMT

I was wondering how you pick up the query string arguments for the xaml pages, for example:

MappedUri="/Views/Items.xaml?type=news"

Is type=news accessible in Items.xaml.cs?

RE: The Silverlight 3 Navigation Framework

Enrai — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 04:48:39 GMT

@ Steve I cannot reproduce that. I have created a new Navigation application, in the AboutPage.xaml I have added a Button that on click calls NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/Views/HomePage.xaml", UriKind.Relative)) and it navigates properly to the HomePage.

@ Adam For the first case you will get the following error message: "No XAML was found at the location '/Views/Home1.htm'" and for the second: "Navigation is only supported to relative Uri's that are fragments, or begin with '/' or which contain ';component/'". So nor of these is possible. :)

@ ruddy I have managed to add a second frame in my MainPage.xaml, but no matter what it behaves the same as the first one. Apperantly the Frame behaviour is the same for the hosting page and it is inherited from the first Frame in the visual tree. In the other case I have added to the AboutPage.xaml and it worked properly, without inheriting anything from the Frame in the MainPage.xaml. Hope that helps! :)

P.S. Sorry for the late answers, but for the last month I was buried in some projects and could not get to answer the comments here.

Limitation: The Silverlight 3 Navigation Framework

ruddy — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 04:12:11 GMT

It's true only one frame can be used!

(But there's no error in create another frame, It's bug or )

RE: The Silverlight 3 Navigation Framework

Adam — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 02:14:17 GMT

Is NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/Views/HomePage.htm", UriKind.Relative)) or Is NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri(http://www.google.com/, UriKind.Absolute)) allowed?

RE: The Silverlight 3 Navigation Framework

Steve — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 13:31:18 GMT

I call this:NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/Views/HomePage.xaml", UriKind.Relative));

from the 'About' page and it doesn't goto the Home Page ?

Martin, you are correct in the beta it must be named 'uriMapper' to work :-)
