Navigate from datagrid to dataform in silverlight

Question

I have a datagrid in my Silverlight-3 application. When I select a row in the datagrid, I need to able to go to a new page which contains a dataform having a detailed view of that particular row. I dont want to use "RowDetailsTemplate" property in datagrid. I want to navigate to a new page which contains my dataform.

How can I achieve that?

Answer 1

There are MANY ways to achieve what you want to do.

If you are looking for a deep-linking approach, you can look into the Silverlight Navigation Framework which is shipped with Silverlight 3.

You might also look into using a ChildWindow as a modal dialog to display the page.

For displaying the data item, you might consider using the DataForm control.
