Using method from ContentPage after it is created as a NavigationPage

Question

I am having trouble accesing a method from my ContentPage. I have a mainPage in wich i create a NavigationPage with a ContentPage as a Parameter. The ContentPage just holds a WebView. (BrowserPage is the ContentPage)

public static NavigationPage browserPage;  
browserPage = new NavigationPage(new BrowserPage());

How can i acces propertys and methods from the ContentPage?

browserPage.someMethodFromBrowserPage(someParameter);

I know that this wont work, i can only call methods from NavigationPage that way.

((BrowserPage)browserPage).someMethod(someParameter);

This is also not working, its says NavigationPage cannot be converted to BrowserPage :( .

So, how do i cast accordingly so i can use the methods that i created inside the BrowserPage?

Answer 1

The NavigationPage and the BrowserPage it contains are two independent things. You can easily keep a ref to both:

public static BrowserPage browserPage = new BrowserPage();
var navPage = new NavigationPage(browserPage);
