If you are working with Windows Phone 7 then you may find following helpful:

Thanks

dashifire,

The first thing to do is create a new page which will be the Personal info page. Let's assume you call this page/file "PersonalInfo".

Then, in the Personal button click event, enter the following code:

var dlg = new PersonalInfo();
dlg.Show();

That will launch the PersonalInfo page.

To clear the grid, unless you dynamically add its items in code (meaning you didn't drag and drop them on the page using the Designer), I suggest you put those in one of the collapsible controls... maybe a StackPanel? Let's call that "CharactersGrid". Then you can set that StackPanel's Visibility using...

CharactersGrid.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;

That way you won't run into issues with the controls not being there if you want to show them again later.

All together, this is what your Personal button's click event will look similar to:

void PersonalClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    CharactersGrid.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
    var dlg = new PersonalInfo();
    dlg.Show();
}

Select allOpen in new window

Or, if you truly do want to blow all the controls away for good (until you completely reload your CharactersPage) then you can do the following instead:

void PersonalClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    CharactersGrid.Children.Clear();
    var dlg = new PersonalInfo();
    dlg.Show();
}

Select allOpen in new window

Sorry it took so long to get back to this. Too many projects, too little time...

The Visibility worked like a charm, but the next part:

var dlg = new Page1();
dlg.Show;

Select allOpen in new window

resulted in a error line under the dlg.Show;

the error reads 'PhoneApp6.PersonalInfo' does not contain a definition for 'Show' and no extension method 'Show accepting a first argument of type 'PhoneApp.PersonalInfo' could be found(are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Any Ideas?

Perfect! That did it! I now have multiple pages! Thank you very much!<br /><br />btw, thanks IJZ for the links, I will put the resources to good use.
