WPF NavigationService creating new Pages each time

Question

I am using the WPF NavigationService to navigate from one Page to another in my application like so:

 private void Image_Forward_MouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) { if (YesNo.Choice == "yes") { NavigationService.Navigate(new PageQuestion2Yes()); } else if (YesNo.Choice == "no") { NavigationService.Navigate(new PageQuestion2No()); } }

I have found that if I navigate to a page more than once then each time a new Page object is getting created. ( I noticed this my adding a constructor in my pages and displaying a messagebox and I found that when the main application exits all the Pages get destroyed)

How can I use NavigationService so that there is only ever one Page created during the lifetime of my application??

Quite evident from your code that you want always new object of Page after navigation:

// Calling constructor manually. NavigationService.Navigate(new PageQuestion2Yes());

Instead store object in class level field and always navigate to that object:

private PageQuestion2Yes yesObject = new PageQuestion2Yes();

Now in method pass that object always on navigation:

NavigationService.Navigate(yesObject);

So, if I call NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri(xyz)) will it always create a new page for me?
