Question

Hello Stack Overflow community,

I’m in the process of learning WP7 development, I’m struggling with one thing.

How can I link an application bar icon to a new WP7 page in the same solution.

I know where to find the icons (prog files>x86>SDK>7.1>Icons) and how to move them to the icon directory in the solution explorer, just want to know how I can actually link it to a page.

Hope you can help, I understand this may be a silly question 🙂

The Icon-format in XAML:

<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.ApplicationBar>
    <shell:ApplicationBar Mode="Default" Opacity="1.0" IsMenuEnabled="True" IsVisible="True">
        <shell:ApplicationBarIconButton Click="NavigateButtonClick" IconUri="/Images/image.png" Text="go" />
    </shell:ApplicationBar>
</phone:PhoneApplicationPage.ApplicationBar>

And the code:

private void NavigateButtonClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/YourPage.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
}
