Thankyou for the page switching solution you have provided. It is the best I have seen so far. I had couple of questions, as Iam new to silverlight as well as .net.. Can I have the PageSwitcher as an actual page with a grid. And the navigate method fills in contents of a cell. So imagine a page with header, footer and body, navigate fills in the body portion.

My next question is, will it be correct to make the data that has to be transfered between the pages like 'Age.txt' - a static member of Switcher class. So that for example when a user logs in , I will fetch the user with WCF and hook it on the static User variable. Other pages will use this information till logout.

My root question is wheather this static class resides on server or client.

Thanks again.

Anosh.

Ben,

You are a buddy, never fear. And I believe in open, honest and direct.

On a related note, I have learned that email and any proxy thereof is incredibly subject to misinterpretation -- nuances tend to be diminished, questions become accusations, suggestions become demands, and I've come to believe that email is for some reason read by the limbic system rathe than the cerebral cortex. Would make an interesting social psych experiment.

Oh, sorry about your account being discontinued and all your software licenses being revoked; total coincidence, I assure you.

Not at all and I hope I didn't come across stepping on your blog post. I read all your posts but I know this multi pages can get deep and I was just suggesting the alternatives.

Peace ;-)

Ben,

With all respect, my friend, while I fully understand what you are saying, I think it depends on your goals. One can be expert and still choose a simpler "roll your own" solution because that is all you need, or because you choose not to depend on third party solutions or can't afford to pay for them, or because it teaches you more, or etc.

My examples are always intended to be the simplest solution that is correct and reasonable, but not necessarily the most robust or full featured. That is a pedagogical trade-off; on the one hand: the more features you put in the more complex the example becomes, and the less useful it is for teaching; on the other hand, the simpler you make an example, the more you run the riks of showing something that has little relationship to how you'd actually write it. A delicate balance.

In any case, and trying hard not to sound defensive, I don't mean to suggest that this is the final word on multi-page application design. :-)

Dear Jesse, a static solution that has been posted a while ago (during Beta2) is available at flawlesscode.com - it's even better b/c it includes animated transitions :)

Sometimes it's best to let the expert do their best in the area they're good at and utilize their work. Telerik has developed a great set of components for Silverlight 2 and one area is the navigation with multi pages and be able to take advantage of their Deep Linking technology. Months ago, I started my own in-house multi page, but now I'm switching to a professional grade level with Telerik stuff. Take a look at it!

It is much cleaner as one of the first ideas.

I am looking forward to see the tutorial.
