WPF Magellan: is there a way to navigate to a existing view?

Question

I'm using the excellent Magellan navigation framework from Paul Stovell.

When you have this method in the controller

Public Function Save(ByVal Contact As Contact) As ActionResult
    Try
        Contact.Save()
        Return Index() ''//Call other action result that brings the list of contacts
    Catch ex As Exception
        Return New CancelResult
    End Try
End Function

1. Is there a way that Index does not create another view, but navigate to the existing one (if exists)?
2. Is there a way to destroy a View (in this case, the contact view, which is not longer valid because the record is already saved in the DB)

Answer 1

You may be able to accomplish this using the Action and Result Filters feature:

You could use OnResultExecuted to track the page that was rendered. Then you could handle OnResultExecuting to see the target page - if it's a page that exists in the navigation journal, you could issue GoBack/GoForward commands to navigate back to the page.
