web link (internet) navigation error in application

I want to navigate to a web link when I press a button. I think it's the same idea as navigating to a XAML page, but instead I put a web page.

Simple page navigation:

NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("Page.xaml", UriKind.Relative));

I wrote

NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("http://www.youtube.com", UriKind.Absolute));

But when I debug, the app crashes

I am using c#. (Visual Studio 2012 Express for windows phone 8)

You said that:

But you cant use NavigationService to navigate to the web page.

I have used this way in one of my projects:

<HyperlinkButton Content="YouTube" NavigateUri="http://youtube.com" TargetName="_blank" />

The key is TargetName property. It must be set to _blank. This behaves similar to WebBrowserTask.

Of course you can make it work like this also:

WebBrowserTask webBrowserTask = new WebBrowserTask();
webBrowserTask.Uri = new Uri("http://www.youtube.com", UriKind.Absolute); 
webBrowserTask.Show();
