Question

I try to instance new page and get the object on that page (for example LongListSelector) by the name.

But when I do

        var currentPage = (PhoneApplicationPage)((PhoneApplicationFrame)App.Current.RootVisual).Content;
        currentPage.NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri(pageUri, UriKind.Relative));

I can’t get the instance of new page. The second calling of var currentPage = (PhoneApplicationPage)((PhoneApplicationFrame)App.Current.RootVisual).Content gets me the same currentPage.

How can I access the instance of new page and items on it?
I need it to implement custom item selector. When tapping on the list item_header from page1 the page2 is showing, where I can chose the right item_kind and navigate back to list1.

Answer 1

Done it with saving page instance in OnNavigateTo event into a global array.
