ready Handler Windows Store App with Javascript

I have a Navigation App and I want to cause the second page which is going to be loaded to the default.html to execute a function in ready section.

I have written in the home.js the following code:

(function () {
    "use strict";

    WinJS.UI.Pages.define("/pages/home/home.html", {
        // This function is called whenever a user navigates to this page. It
        // populates the page elements with the app's data.
        ready: function (element, options) {
            // TODO: Initialize the page here.

            var articlesList;

            articlesList = new WinJS.Binding.List();
            var publicMembers = { ItemList: articlesList };
            WinJS.Namespace.define("DNZ", publicMembers);



        },

        RSSFeedHandler: function getRssFeed() {
            WinJS.xhr({ url: "http://feeds.feedburner.com/dotnetzone?format=xml" }).then(function (rss) {
                var items = rss.responseXML.querySelectorAll("item");

                for (var n = 0; n < items.length; n++) {
                    var article = {};
                    article.title = items[n].querySelector("title").textContent;
                    article.link = items[n].querySelector("link").textContent;
                    article.description = items[n].querySelector("description").textContent;
                    article.pubDate = items[n].querySelector("pubDate").textContent;
                    articlesList.push(article);
                }
            });
        }

    });
})();

But this causes a problem when running it to the debugger; and the it stops.

My home.html page contains the following tags:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>homePage</title>

    <!-- WinJS references -->
    <link href="//Microsoft.WinJS.1.0/css/ui-dark.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script src="//Microsoft.WinJS.1.0/js/base.js"></script>
    <script src="//Microsoft.WinJS.1.0/js/ui.js"></script>

    <link href="/css/default.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <link href="/pages/home/home.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script src="/pages/home/home.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <!-- The content that will be loaded and displayed. -->
    <div class="fragment homepage">
        <div id="main">
            <div id="DNZItemTemplate" data-win-control="WinJS.Binding.Template" style="display: none;">
                <div class="listItemTemplate" style="width: 173px; height: 100px;">
                    <div class="listItemTitle" data-win-bind="innerText: title" style="width: 173px; height: 100px;"></div>
                    <div class="listItemImage" data-win-bind="innerText: pubDate" style="width: 173px; height: 100px;"></div>
                    <!--<div class="listItemTitle" data-win-bind="innerText: link">
                    </div>-->
                </div>
            </div>
            <header aria-label="Header content" role="banner">
                <button class="win-backbutton" aria-label="Back" disabled type="button"></button>
                <h1 class="titlearea win-type-ellipsis">
                    <span class="pagetitle">Καλως ήρθατε!</span>
                </h1>
            </header>
            <section aria-label="Main content" role="main">
                <section id="content">
                    <div id="articlelist" data-win-control="WinJS.UI.ListView" data-win-options="{ itemDataSource: DNZ.ItemList.dataSource, itemTemplate: DNZItemTemplate }"></div> 
                </section>
            </section>
            </div>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

and I think the problem is when I try to put the item to the list view! Do you have any ideas for the way I have to write it to run the getRSSFeed function when the home.html is being loaded?

In order for the articlesList to be visible in the RSSFeedHndler method you need to make it a property of the page object as follows:

(function () {
"use strict";

WinJS.UI.Pages.define("/pages/home/home.html", {
    articlesList:null,
    // This function is called whenever a user navigates to this page. It
    // populates the page elements with the app's data.
    ready: function (element, options) {
        // TODO: Initialize the page here.

        // var articlesList;
        this.articlesList = new WinJS.Binding.List();

        var publicMembers = { ItemList: articlesList };
        WinJS.Namespace.define("DNZ", publicMembers);
    },

    RSSFeedHandler: function getRssFeed() {
        var _this=this;
        WinJS.xhr({ url: "http://feeds.feedburner.com/dotnetzone?format=xml" }).then(function (rss) {
            var items = rss.responseXML.querySelectorAll("item");

            for (var n = 0; n < items.length; n++) {
                var article = {};
                article.title = items[n].querySelector("title").textContent;
                article.link = items[n].querySelector("link").textContent;
                article.description = items[n].querySelector("description").textContent;
                article.pubDate = items[n].querySelector("pubDate").textContent;
                _this.articlesList.push(article);
            }
        });
    }

});

})();
