使用带有typeof的Frame.Navigate（UserControl）

Question

It is possible to do so? Do I need to use only Page objects instead? I've tried to Navigate to a UserControl and I get:

Exception thrown: 'System.NullReferenceException' in Project.exe

Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Frame.Navigate(Type sourcePageType)

However, if I use a Page , it works perfectly.

I posed an entire project using UserControls and I'm afraid I will have to outline it back :(

Answer 1

The Frame.Navigate() methods description it says for it's first parameter

The page to navigate to, specified as a type reference to its partial class type. (A type reference is given as System.Type for .NET, or a TypeName helper struct for C++/CX)

So I'm sorry, but you need a Page or a class derived from the Page for navigation
