Windows Phone 8.1 MainPage Frame.navigate

Question

I'm creating a Windows Phone 8.1 app.

I'm OK with simple navigation using Frame.navigate(typeof(mypage)); and it seems to be working fine.

• I want to do some database processing on MainPage then when finished go to Page1 .

• Using an event handler on button click works fine but I've put the navigation code at the end of the OnNavigatedTo function after my processing. Page1 doesn't load, although a debug writeline statement before and after both work so I know it's running.

I'm sure there is an obvious reason or fix, could anyone help?

Answer 1

try wrap the navigation code in

await Windows.ApplicationModel.Core.CoreApplication.MainView.CoreWindow.Dispatcher.RunAsync(Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
{
// Navigate to page 1 here
});
