HyperlinkButton won't navigate to external site
-
I've set Hyperlinkbutton.NavigateUri to an external site and when I click it, I get a "Navigation is only supported to relative URI's" exception, even though the MSDN documentation says that the default value for the enableNavigation value is "all". As expected, explicitly setting this value to "all" in my TestPage.html file does not solve the problem. The documentation also says, "This property can only be set during Silverlight plug-in initialization." Maybe I'm trying to set it past this point. But I want it set to the default value anyhow, so it shouldn't matter.

Unfortunately, no. That link is for a relative URL. I need an absolute URL that points to a completely different Website.

Hey fjparisIII, Try this,it is working for google.co.in in Hyper button click event. HtmlPage.Window.Navigate(New Uri("http://www.google.co.in", UriKind.Absolute)) Regards,

Hi fjparisIII, You can do this. You need to specify the UriKind.Absolute while constructing the Url. Have a look into the following code snippet. This is working fine for me.
HyperlinkButton hButton = new HyperlinkButton()
{
NavigateUri = new Uri("http://kunal2383.blogspot.com", UriKind.Absolute),
Content = "View My Blog"
};LayoutRoot.Children.Add(hButton);If you have any issue please reply & if it works please mark as answer.

I want to write declarative code in XAML, not imperative code in C#. But whether provided in XAML or C#, I get the same exception I mention in my initial post, i.e. coding the following in the click event crashes the app:
NavigationService.Source = new Uri("http://www.ParisPhotoTools.com", UriKind.Absolute);
However, the following C# code works in the HyperlinkButton click event handler:
HtmlPage.Window.Navigate(new Uri("http://www.ParisPhotoTools.com", UriKind.Absolute));
Go figure.

**Yes, that works. Thanks. Still don't understand why my original code doesn't, however.
