windows phone 7 - Why to use UriMapping in WP7? -
can explain me meaning of urimappings in windows phone 7 , why use them? mean why need user friendly uri's in phone app?
urimappings part of silverlight 3 navigation framework , since wp7 silverlight 3+ port supports same api. don't "have" use urimappings if doesn't jive programmatic zen.
a lot of silverlight developers come web background (asp, php, asp.net, et al) , such comfortable idea of short, hackable, persistent , structured urls navigation. navigation odd thing on ui platform (even on silverlight) , such enabling developers successful in giving many options possible.
personally, choose not use urimappings in wp7 apps have own mini-navigation framework resolves page names xaml urls. there's example in open source navigationservice.getparseurlstring() method , pages class.
as side-note, in future releases of wp7 operating systems , wp7 developer tools might possible emulator/phone show full history of pages in stack. in mix10 that demoed internal microsoft capability. means if have meaningful page urimapping it'll easier debug.
