Static side menu with changing content

I would like to create an app with a static side menu, which never changes and takes up 10% of the view.

In this menu a few options are available, when the user selects one of these, they go to a specific view, which is shown in the other 90% of the view, with the menu still being shown.

How can I switch a specific view in a page with another? How do I define these in a XAML file? Or do I need to place the menu on each of the pages I decide to use it on?

Solution

  • You should use a <Frame Name="contentHolder" />.

    You can insert different Pages in this frame by using the C# code contentHolder.Navigate(typeof(YourView));
