Question

I’m developing application that start page depends on file existing in isolated storage.
If file doesn’t exist my application shows some form to setup configuration, but if it exist I wish this page will not be diesplayed.

For now I just load configutarion page but if file exist i use NavigationService to navigate to proper page on pageloaded event. The problem is that after I play with my app and hit back button it goes to configuration setup and because file exist it navigates me stright to my app again. I despite the fact that setup screen blinks on the application launching.

So my question is – how to setup startup page depends on some condition ?

Answer 1

There is no way to launch different page on some conditions.

There are methods to manipulate Page Stack in NavigationService class, so you can remove setup page from history and app not will be navigated to it when user tap back button.

For fighting with page blinking you can put an image (the same image as splashscreen) above your page, and hide it when right content loaded
