Frame.Navigate Method

Definition

Overloads

Navigate(TypeName)

Causes the Frame to load content represented by the specified Page-derived data type.

Navigate(TypeName, Object)

Causes the Frame to load content represented by the specified Page-derived data type, also passing a parameter to be interpreted by the target of the navigation.

Navigate(TypeName, Object, NavigationTransitionInfo)

Causes the Frame to load content represented by the specified Page-derived data type, also passing a parameter to be interpreted by the target of the navigation, and a value indicating the animated transition to use.

Navigate(TypeName)

Causes the Frame to load content represented by the specified Page-derived data type.

public:
 virtual bool Navigate(TypeName sourcePageType) = Navigate;
bool Navigate(TypeName const& sourcePageType);
public bool Navigate(System.Type sourcePageType);
function navigate(sourcePageType)
Public Function Navigate (sourcePageType As Type) As Boolean

Parameters

sourcePageType
TypeName Type

The page to navigate to, specified as a type reference to its partial class type. Must be a Page-derived data type; otherwise, an exception is thrown. (A type reference is given as System.Type for Microsoft .NET, or a TypeName helper struct for Visual C++ component extensions (C++/CX)).

Returns

Boolean

bool

false if a NavigationFailed event handler has set Handled to true; otherwise, true. See Remarks for more info.

Implements

M:Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.INavigate.Navigate(Windows.UI.Xaml.Interop.TypeName) M:Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.INavigate.Navigate(System.Type)

Remarks

You handle the NavigationFailed event to respond to navigation failure. You can handle the failure directly in the event handler, or you can set the NavigationFailedEventArgs.Handled property to true and use the Navigate method return value to respond to the failure.

Apps typically use GetNavigationState to serialize the frame’s state when the app suspends. You can do this directly in your app code or indirectly by using the SuspensionManager class generated by the Visual Studio templates. To enable frame state serialization using GetNavigationState, you must use only basic types for the navigation parameter, such as string, char, numeric, and GUID types. Otherwise GetNavigationState will throw an exception when the app suspends. The parameter can have other types if you do not use GetNavigationState.

The parameter value can have a complex type if you do not use GetNavigationState. However, you should still use only basic types in order to avoid excess memory usage caused by the frame’s navigation stack holding a reference to the parameter. A preferred approach is to not pass the actual object, but instead pass an identifier that you can use to look up the object in the target landing page. For example, instead of passing a Customer object, pass a reference to the CustomerID, then look up the Customer after the navigation is complete.

Tip

If you are programming using a Microsoft .NET language (C# or Microsoft Visual Basic), the TypeName type projects as System.Type. When programming using C#, it is common to use the typeof operator to get references to the System.Type of a type. In Microsoft Visual Basic, use GetType. If you're using Visual C++ component extensions (C++/CX), where you'll need to create a TypeName helper struct, you can use the typeid component extension.
