I have a second .xaml page set up under the name Page2.xaml
and I want to make it so that when my button is clicked, the user is taken to Page2.xaml
I have this for my button inside of my Page1.xaml
:
<Grid>
<Button x:Name="localModeBtn"
Style="{StaticResource MainButtonStyle}"
Content="local mode"
Click="localModeBtn_Click" />
</Grid>
And for the button event handler:
private void localModeBtn_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Uri uri = new Uri("Page2.xaml", UriKind.Relative);
this.NavigationService.Navigate(uri);
}
Upon clicking the button I receive an error that says "Cannot locate resource page2.xaml
"
The thing is that Page2.xaml
is in the same folder as Pag1.xaml
so I can't see where I've gone wrong?
To package content for navigation, WPF provides the Page class. You can navigate from one Page to another declaratively, by using a Hyperlink, or programmatically, by using the NavigationService. WPF uses the journal to remember pages that have been navigated from and to navigate back to them.
Step 1: Create an empty WPF using Visual Studio, enter the name for the application and click on OK. Step 2: Create a button using the following code or drag and drop a button from the ToolBox of Visual Studio 2013.
Solution to my own question:
I feel a bit silly providing a solution to my own question but thanks to Jasti's link I was able to sort my code out. As he had only posted a comment, I can't mark it as an answer, so here is the solution.
I changed the NavigationWindow to a Window and inserted:
<DockPanel>
<Frame x:Name="_NavigationFrame" NavigationUIVisibility="Hidden" />
</DockPanel>
And within the constructor of the MainWindow.xaml.cs I added:
_NavigationFrame.Navigate(new Page1());
Then the last step was to adjust the button event handler to:
this.NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("Pages/Page2.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
