Question

I’m a bit of a beginner with this so i’ll try and keep it simple.

I have a a xaml page with a button click event linking it to another xaml page. What I’m trying to do is on the click event take two strings and pass them to a text box on the second page. Can you please show me a simple code example of how to do this?

Answer 1

On the button click event of the first page you do something like the following

   private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)  
    {  
         string urlWIthData = string.Format("/Page2.xaml?name={0}", txtName.Text);  
         this.NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri(urlWIthData, UriKind.Relative));  
    } 

On the desintation page, you do the following:

private void PhoneApplicationPage_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)  
{  
     myTextBox.Text = this.NavigationContext.QueryString["name"].ToString();  
}
