How do I link/navigate a application bar icon to a new WP page?

Hello Stack Overflow community,

I'm in the process of learning WP7 development, I'm struggling with one thing.

How can I link an application bar icon to a new WP7 page in the same solution.

I know where to find the icons (prog files>x86>SDK>7.1>Icons) and how to move them to the icon directory in the solution explorer, just want to know how I can actually link it to a page.

Hope you can help, I understand this may be a silly question :)

The Icon-format in XAML:

<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.ApplicationBar>     <shell:ApplicationBar Mode="Default" Opacity="1.0" IsMenuEnabled="True" IsVisible="True">         <shell:ApplicationBarIconButton Click="NavigateButtonClick" IconUri="/Images/image.png" Text="go" />     </shell:ApplicationBar> </phone:PhoneApplicationPage.ApplicationBar> 

And the code:

private void NavigateButtonClick(object sender, EventArgs e) {     NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/YourPage.xaml", UriKind.Relative)); }

When you define the handler for the Click event on the icon (in XAML this will be something like Click="ApplicationBarIconButton_Click") You need to fire a Navigation command, similar to the following...

private void ApplicationBarIconButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {     NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/MyNewPage.xaml", UriKind.Relative)); } 

where /MyNewPage.xaml is the relative path to the page you want to visit.
