Agenda Simple Page Navigation

Why is it important?
Page Navigation:1. because you don’t want to build your project based on only one page
2. because you can make use that your application will automatically be able to leverage the phone's built-in hardware back button.

Simple Navigation
We have multiple pages, and we want to give the user a way to get between them. Let's build a simple navigation UI that will allow us to do just that.

1.
we've created a default Windows Phone Application, let's open it.
Open the application from where you saved it last time. (Probably it will be in Documents>Visual Studio 2013>Projects

4 & 5
4. Change page's title, so we know we're on each page. Look for the XAML Textblock element with Text "page name" to "Meals“5. Repeat step 3 and 4 with page name Beverages.xaml and page name "Beverages".

Add 2 buttons in the MainPage.xaml by dragging the "Button" control from the Toolbox window to the MainPage designer view.

8.
Change the text that appears on each button by going to the Properties windows on the left. Under Common, change Content from "button" to Meals. Do the same to button 2 and change Content to "Beverages". Also change the name of each button from the same properties window as shown. Change names to "button_meals" and "button_beverages".

9.
Add a Click event to the button, that when you click on the button a special event happens, which in our case is to navigate to a specific page. To do this, double click on the button itself in the design view and it will automatically create an event handler and take you to the C# page where you write what happens when the button is clicked. Do the same click to the second button.
10.
Now is finally time to write the statement of navigation to another page.for button_mealsNavigationService.Navigate( new Uri("/Meals.xaml", UriKind.Relative));And for button_beveragesNavigationService.Navigate( new Uri("/Beverages.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
Thank you
