The xamMenu™ control takes advantage of WPF navigation feature by providing the NavigationUri and NavigationElement properties. If you would like to navigate to different pages in your application, set the XamMenuItem object’s NavigationUri to the location of a page and the NavigationElement as a Frame control.
