Gets or sets the Frame to which the current service is associated.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.WindowsUI.Navigation

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Controls.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Controls

#Declaration

public NavigationFrame Frame { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Description
NavigationFrame

A NavigationFrame object to which the current service is associated.

#Remarks

You need to set the Frame property to the NavigationFrame object that contains Views to navigate between. Otherwise, the methods provided by the FrameNavigationService will not work.

#Example

The FrameNavigationService provides methods to navigate between Views within a NavigationFrame. This example shows how to use this service. In this example, the MainWindow contains a NavigationFrame, which shows a HomeView at startup. The HomeView contains a Tile, which invokes a command to navigate to a DetailView when clicked. The DetailView contains the Back button for backward navigation.
