PageSwitcher pageSwitcher = new PageSwitcher();

This solved my object not set to instance issue.

I am having a similar issue as donmaris;

"Object not set to an instance of an object". at this point in the code

ps.Navigate(new Page2());

Any ideas on why this may occur with SL2?

How will the implementation change for SL2 RTW?

I'm having a problem with the navigation function.

void Switch_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

PageSwitcher ps = this.Parent as PageSwitcher;

ps.Navigate(new Video());

}

For some reason, I'm getting an error on my button switch click. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

It worked in SL2B2, but now I'm having hassles to implement.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by 'navigate by reference'?

I never downloaded your code, only read the article and implemented a quick test. I am not maintaining any references from any of my page classes to the ones i navigate to so i can only assume it's the underlying handling of objects within silverlight that is stopping my 'pages' from getting garbage collected.

Thanks for any help. Look forward to the video.

Matt, you are absolutely correct. After talking with Ashish (who is truly a generous and smart person) and revisiting my code:

1. The way I am doing it is by having references in each page to the other, (much like WPF’s navigation model, the “navigate by object” pattern) which does allow for creating retrievable state but is not what I intended.

2. There is an obvious alternative (using "navigate by reference") that I will demonstrate in an upcoming video (a few weeks).

Thanks for pointing this out.

Pages aren't garbage collected!

I just created a small sample based on this to test that the garbage collector does reclaim the page but it appears not to until the browser is closed.

I added a finalizer to one of my pages and put a breakpoint in it. On one of the other pages i call GC.Collect() after calling the Navigate method. No matter how many times i cycle round different pages i never see the finalizer run but as soon as i exit the browser the finalizer runs for every instance of the page that i created.

In Ashish Shetty's article all pages are created up front and i wonder if this is the reason? We want to write an application that could potentially be running for a very long time so to know that the garbage collector is working properly and we're not going to consume loads of memory is very important to us.
