Replicate Hardware Back Button Functionality from UI in Windows Phone

I'm trying to write a windows phone application and am wondering if it's possible to have a software button in the UI that does the same thing as the hardware back button (just sends a system back command). I can't seem to find any information on how to do this online.

try this:

XAML:

<Button x:Name="btnBack" Content="Back" Click="btnBack_Click"></Button>

CS:

private void btnBack_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    if (NavigationService.CanGoBack)
        NavigationService.GoBack();
    else
        App.Current.Terminate();
}

This would work as same Back button. if any back-state is there it would go to that state or if not it would close (Terminate) the Application.

you can override the back button function 

protected override void OnBackKeyPress(System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
{
  //Do your work here
  base.OnBackKeyPress(e);
}
