Remarks

Place a NavigationFrame onto your main application window to navigate through different screens within your WindowsUI application. Use the NavigationFrame.Source property to set a start-up screen and specify the Navigation.NavigateTo property for each navigation UI element to set where it should navigate to when clicked. Refer to the Navigation topic for more information.

The NavigationFrame allows you to cache displayed Views. The NavigationCacheMode property specifies how to cache Views:

• Always cache.
• Cache until the cache size exceeds the NavigationCacheMaxSize property value.
• Do not cache.

Call the ClearCache() method to clear the cache.
