Hello All,

My Question is if there is anyway that we can navigate from a XAML page to a www website?

For Example, I have a button which on click should Open New Page and load Google Home Page ("www.google.com")

My Code is

HTML

<HyperlinkButton Content="Click Here to Open Google" Name="GGL" Click="GGL_Click" Foreground="Gray" IsTabStop="False" Tag="www.google.com" />

and my code behind is

VB

Dim GGLButton As HyperlinkButton = DirectCast(sender, HyperlinkButton)
Dim viewsource As String = GGLButton.Tag.ToString
HelpingHand.Navigate(New Uri(viewsource, UriKind.Relative))

The Error that I get is

Navigation is only supported to relative URIs that are fragments, or begin with '/', or which contain ';component/'. Parameter name: uri

This works when I try to navigate to a page inside my project. Please assist me in this.

Try using 'UriKind.Absolute' rather than 'UriKind.Relative'

I think you should be using urimapper. Check for info here:
