windows phone 7 - How to pass a value between Silverlight pages for WP7?

Question

I've got a MainPage.xaml page a Detail.xaml page.

I've passed variables to the Detail.xaml from MainPage.xaml by using a static variable and referencing it in Detail.xaml (the detail page is acting like a dialog). However once I've updated the content of another object, I want to call a method in MainPage.xaml to refresh the content of that page using the updated object from the Detail.xaml page.

I assume I am not using the correct paradigm for this and should probably be using MVVM or something but I'm not familiar with the implementation and was hoping there was a simple way to do this?

Answer 1

Can you load the content from the static into your control in the OnNavigatedTo?

You can make a method in your main page to do that job and call that.
