I am finally working my way into WPF using VS2013. As an old-school WinForm developer with some xaml for windows phone 7 experience, I'm having a hard time getting my head around the concept of windows and pages. Maybe what I'm trying to do is the wrong architecture or not best practice, but...I wanting to create a main page (or window?) for the main application. I am looking for a borderless layout so the "MainWindow.xaml" seems to look nice. I tried creating a "MainPage.xaml" page but it opens in a larger "browser" style frame, which is NOT what I want. To create a "settings" page or window, I added a new WPF Windows called SettingsWindow.xaml to the project. However, I am not able to figure out how to "navigate" to that new window as Navigation(this) returns null. I tried playing with creating a new Window() and then using newWindow.Show() but how/where do I set the xaml filename to run? Other threads talk about creating a window frame. How? I'm lost and confused and looking for guidance. Thanks (And HAPPY NEW YEAR).
