use a variable from a page in another one

I'm creating an app for Windows store using C#. I need to pass a string variable to another page. I have already tried using this variable as an input parameter of the page where the variable is going to be used, like this:

In the page where the variable was created:

this.Frame.Navigate(typeof(MainMenu(Variable)));

In the page where the variable is going to be used:

public PageName(string Variable)
{
   this.InitializeComponent();
}

so, something like winforms, obviously doesn't work to windows store

Have a look at this page under "Passing information between pages" for example code.

You need to work with the following event to get the value of the variable out

OnNavigatedTo

Here is the corresponding link on MSDN

You can pass a parameter to the Navigate method.

this.Frame.Navigate(typeof(MainMenu),yourVariable);

and in your MainMenu page you can find your "navigation data" in the OnNavigateTo (virtual) method.

hope this help.

Regards

[Edit] Take a look at this exemple Quickstart: Navigating between pages
