Windows 8 page navigation

Question

I have to write an app store app in windows 8. I have to use the navigation events.

1. What is the way to use the navigation events in win8 c# should I use the frame navigation events: Navigated, NavigationStopped ect or should I use page onNavigatedTo/From? What is the correct way?

2. if I want to use the frame navigation events how and when should I add an event handler?

I  tried at the constructor of the page but it appears the frame has not been created yet...

Thanks

Any sample code will be great help

Answer 1

Hi,
I didn't get exactly what you want but I'll answer the way I understood,
When you navigate from page to another you use 

this.Frame.Navigate(typeof(YourPage), "Data to pass to the other page");

And in the other page you get this data in OnNaviagtedTo event

 protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
        {
            string value = e.Parameter as string;
        }

And about onNavigatedFrom the event triggers when you navigate from this page to another(No suspended or terminated)
Regards,

Thnks for the reply.

what i meant was: waht about the Frame navigation events?

How an whanen should i use them instead of page methods you used?

Answer 3

The page can hosted in the Frame, if one page is navigated by a Frame, the Page.Frame property can be set as the Frame. So we can use the code this.Frame.Navigate(xxx) to navigate the other pages in one page.
