Question

I have a problem with Pivot control. How can I insert xaml page with content to Pivot item? Is it even possible?

When I’m storing everything in one file it’s really hard to take control over my own application layout.

I want something like this:

• on main page should be pivot control with items.
• content of those items should be in separated xaml files (there is no dependency between pages)

Answer 1

Add correct namespace to Page:

xmlns:view="clr-namespace:YourApp.Controls"

and in Pivot:

<Pivot>
   <PivotItem Name="first">
     <view:FirstUserControl DataContext="{Binding YourViewModel}"/>
   </PivotItem>
</Pivot>

And in view namespace you need to create a User Control. The link is about WPF but in WP7 there is the same system.

Also, you can create Custom Control from PivotItem.
