Passing state between pages?

Question

I have a Silverlight Windows Phone 7 app with two pages. I want to pass some nontrivial state (an array or structs) between them. Do I have to follow a Web model where everythin

Answer 1

No you don't have to pass everything in a query string. Just pass an id and store the data non-trivial data in isolated storage between pages.

There is a series of articles on how to to do this here

Answer 2

You have a couple of options:

1. Use the query string as you suggested. This makes sense from a web development perspective, but we aren't in a web development perspective.
2. Use a static variable. This is probably the simplest. Just declare another class with a static property, and you can share data this way. The only concern with this approach is thread-safety.
3. Use Isolated Storage.
