How to efficiently communicate between default page and PageControl elements?

Question

I have the default.html page and a PageControl element. I want to receive data from an external source, process it by the default page, and then send the processed data to the PageControl element to display it. I did not find any suitable way to pass information from default to PageControl. Could you please suggest the options?

Hi

First create a Namespace in your javascript file to store this data,

WinJS.Namespace.define("ViewModel",{
UserData:WinJS.Binding.as({
UserData1:null,
UserData2:[];
})
});

When this data be processed, save it in a global WinJS.Namespace like this:

ViewModel.UserData.UserData1="abc";

Or you can use session state:

Thanks! User-defined functions of WinJS.UI.Pages.define also look promising, so when data arrives I can route it to the scope I need.
