Question

Quick Explanation

One Silverlight (3.0) project with several XAML pages.

I want to load the Silverlight control pointing to different XAML pages depending on certain events. I’m considering doing this with Querystrings. Anyone have any luck with this or best practices?

Answer 1

I found the answer to this. Actually pretty easy.

On web page, I pass in an ID using the initParameters.

Silverlight1.InitParameters = "ID=MAIN" 

I then check for that parameter in the App.xaml in the SilverLight Project and load up the xaml accordingly

string inputparm = e.InitParams["ID"];
switch (inputparm)
    {
        case "MAIN":
            this.RootVisual = new MainPage();
            break;
        case "MAIN2":
            this.RootVisual = new MainPage();
            break;
    }
