Prism RequestNavigate does not work

Question

In each view

public partial class View2 : UserControl, IRegionMemberLifetime, INavigationAware
{

  public bool KeepAlive
  {
    get { return false; }
  }

         


        

Answer 1

I have seen that if I implement IConfirmNavigateRequest and do not call continutationCallback(true), the navigation fails quietly.

public void ConfirmNavigationRequest(NavigationContext navigationContext, Action<bool> continuationCallback)
    {
        //***Should have actual logic here
        continuationCallback(true);
    }

While this may not be your case, I figured this out by debugging through the Prism code. I would suggest you do this to figure out your issue. Delete the references to the following in each relevant project.

• Microsoft.Practices.Prism
• Microsoft.Practices.Prism.Interactivity
• Microsoft.Practices.Prism.MefExtensions
• Microsoft.Practices.Prism.UnityExtensions

Then add the projects from the PrismLibrary DeskTop, Silverlight or Phone directory (where you installed PRISM). Then reference these projects.

Answer 2

This is your problem:

bool INavigationAware.IsNavigationTarget(NavigationContext navigationContext) => true;

If you want a new view to be created and added to your region each time you call RequestNavigate(), IsNavigationTarget() must return false instead of true.

Answer 3

Are you sure the view gets populated by the container?

I would suggest you to provide a callback for the RequestNavigate method, so you'll be able to track what happens with your view thru the NavigationResult:

regionManager.RequestNavigate
(
    "Window1",
    new Uri("View2", UriKind.Relative),
    (NavigationResult nr) => 
    {
        var error = nr.Error;
        var result = nr.Result;
        // put a breakpoint here and checkout what NavigationResult contains
    }
);
