Prism RequestNavigate does not work

In each view

public partial class View2 : UserControl, IRegionMemberLifetime, INavigationAware
{

  public bool KeepAlive
  {
    get { return false; }
  }

  bool INavigationAware.IsNavigationTarget(NavigationContext navigationContext)
  {
    return true;
  }
  void INavigationAware.OnNavigatedFrom(NavigationContext navigationContext)
  {
    // Intentionally not implemented.
  }
  void INavigationAware.OnNavigatedTo(NavigationContext navigationContext)
  {
    this.navigationJournal = navigationContext.NavigationService.Journal;
  }

}

Initialize:

container.RegisterType<object, View1>("View1");
container.RegisterType<object, View2>("View2");

regionManager.RequestNavigate("Window1", new Uri("View1", UriKind.Relative));
regionManager.RequestNavigate("Window2", new Uri("View2", UriKind.Relative));

I am following the developer guide, it does not change the view if view exists.

This is your problem:

bool INavigationAware.IsNavigationTarget(NavigationContext navigationContext) => true;

If you want a new view to be created and added to your region each time you call RequestNavigate(), IsNavigationTarget() must return false instead of true.

I have seen that if I implement IConfirmNavigateRequest and do not call continutationCallback(true), the navigation fails quietly.

public void ConfirmNavigationRequest(NavigationContext navigationContext, Action<bool> continuationCallback)
    {
        //***Should have actual logic here
        continuationCallback(true);
    }

While this may not be your case, I figured this out by debugging through the Prism code. I would suggest you do this to figure out your issue. Delete the references to the following in each relevant project.

  • Microsoft.Practices.Prism
  • Microsoft.Practices.Prism.Interactivity
  • Microsoft.Practices.Prism.MefExtensions
  • Microsoft.Practices.Prism.UnityExtensions

Then add the projects from the PrismLibrary DeskTop, Silverlight or Phone directory (where you installed PRISM). Then reference these projects.

Are you sure the view gets populated by the container?

I would suggest you to provide a callback for the RequestNavigate method, so you'll be able to track what happens with your view thru the NavigationResult:

regionManager.RequestNavigate
(
    "Window1",
    new Uri("View2", UriKind.Relative),
    (NavigationResult nr) => 
    {
        var error = nr.Error;
        var result = nr.Result;
        // put a breakpoint here and checkout what NavigationResult contains
    }
);
