        <Grid Height="30">

</Menu>

    </Grid>
</UserControl>

NavigationService.GetNavigationService(Dependancy object) only option arise... so how can i do page navigation

e.g 
private void PL_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            Page1 h1 = new Page1();
            NavigationService.GetNavigationService(.........????)
           
         
        }

pls reply fast.....it's urgent

Answer 5

NavigationService.GetNavigationService(DependencyObject) returns the NavigationService of the navigation container the element is hosted in. Do you want the navigator that the menu is hosted in to navigate to Page1? If so, you can cast sender (should be the MenuItem) to DependencyObject and use that as the parameter.

 

Answer 6

I got the answer...

private void PL_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            Page1 h1 = new Page1();
            NavigationService.GetNavigationService(this).Navigate(h1)
           
         
        }

this code working success fully

Answer 8

The example given above is wrong. Here is what you must do:

private void PL_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Page1 h1 = new Page1();
h1.Show();  // or h1.Showdialog();            
          
        }
