Adding a New Page to a Multi-Page Silverlight Application

So, you've started building a Silverlight Line of Business (LOB) application using the Silverlight Navigation Application template (as shown in this prior post). This post covers how to add pages to it.

NOTE: This post is part of a series that starts with this prior post.

1) Add a new Page by right-clicking on the Views folder and selecting Add | New Item. Then pick the Silverlight Page template under the desired language: VB or C#.

2) Add any desired controls to the page.

3) Modify MainPage.xaml to include an additional HyperlinkButton to display the new page. The changes are shown in red:

<UserControl

               <navigation:Frame x:Name="ContentFrame"
                   Style="{StaticResource ContentFrameStyle}"  
                   Source="/Home" Navigated="ContentFrame_Navigated"
                   NavigationFailed="ContentFrame_NavigationFailed">
                   <navigation:Frame.UriMapper>
