public sealed class Navigator : Factory<INavigator>, 
	INavigator

The Navigator type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	CanGoBack	Gets a value that indicates whether there is at least one entry in back navigation history. Only relevant for UWP and Desktop single page application
	CanGoForward	Gets a value that indicates whether there is at least one entry in forward navigation history. Only relevant for UWP and Desktop single page application

Methods

	Name	Description
	Free	Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources. This does not dispose the singleton object itself, only the content of Current. This will also destroy the singleton instance that is managed by the Factory. (Inherited from Factory<T>.)
	GoBack	Navigates to the most recent item in back navigation history, if a Frame manages its own navigation history. Only relevant for UWP and Desktop single page application
	GoForward	Navigates to the most recent item in forward navigation history, if a Frame manages its own navigation history. Only relevant for UWP and Desktop single page application
	NavigateAsync(Type)	Causes the window or page to load content represented by the specified IViewModel.
	NavigateAsync(Type,Object[])	Causes the window or page to load content represented by the specified IViewModel, also passing a parameter to be used to construct the view model.
	NavigateAsync<T>()	Causes the window or page to load content represented by the specified IViewModel.
	NavigateAsync<T>(Func<Task>)	Create a new popup with the view defined by the view model, depending on the views definition.
	NavigateAsync<T>(Object[])	Causes the window or page to load content represented by the specified IViewModel, also passing a parameter to be used to construct the view model.
	NavigateAsync<T>(Func<Task>,Object[])	Create a new popup with the view defined by the view model, depending on the views definition, also passing a parameter to be used to construct the view model.
	NavigateAsync<T, TResult>(Func<TResult, Task>)	Create a new popup with the view defined by the view model, depending on the views definition.
	NavigateAsync<T, TResult>(Func<TResult, Task>,Object[])	Create a new popup with the view defined by the view model, depending on the views definition, also passing a parameter to be used to construct the view model.
	TryClose	Tries to close a view model associated popup
	TryCloseFocusedWindow	Closes the current focused Window.

Extension Methods

	Name	Description
	As(Type)	Overloaded. Converts a type using the implicit or explicit operators. If both fails it will try to convert the value with ChangeType(Object, Type). (Defined by ExtensionsConvertions.)
	As(Type, Type)	Overloaded. Converts a type using the implicit or explicit operators. If both fails it will try to convert the value with ChangeType(Object, Type). (Defined by ExtensionsConvertions.)
	As<T>()	Overloaded. Performs a cast between compatible reference types. If a convertion is not possible then null is returned. As a last resort it will use ChangeType(Object, Type). Tries to use the implicit and explicit operators if exists when convertion with 'as' returns null. (Defined by ExtensionsConvertions.)
	CreateType<T>	Creates a new Type that implements the properties of an interface defined by T and copies all value of anon to the new object. (Defined by ExtensionsInterception.)
	GetPropertyNonPublicValue<T>	Searches for the specified property, using the specified binding constraints and returns its value. Default BindingFlags are Instance and NonPublic (Defined by ExtensionsReflection.)
	GetPropertyValue(String, BindingFlags)	Overloaded. Searches for the specified property, using the specified binding constraints and returns its value. (Defined by ExtensionsReflection.)
	GetPropertyValue<T>(String)	Overloaded. Searches for the specified property, using the specified binding constraints and returns its value. Default BindingFlags are Instance and Public (Defined by ExtensionsReflection.)
	GetPropertyValue<T>(String, BindingFlags)	Overloaded. Searches for the specified property, using the specified binding constraints and returns its value. (Defined by ExtensionsReflection.)
	MapTo<T>	Maps all properties and fields of an instance to another instance. The Clone() method is used to copy an instance if exist. Mapping fails on jagged and multidimensional array. Classes without parameterless constructor will stay null. (Defined by ExtensionsCloning.)
	ToLong	Tries to convert a Object to an Int64. Returns MinValue if target cannot be parsed. (Defined by ExtensionsConvertions.)
	ToStringEx(String)	Overloaded. Converts the value of this instance to its equivalent string representation, using the specified format. The following custom formatter are already added: ByteSizeFormatter, MetricUnitFormatter (Defined by Extensions.)
	ToStringEx(String, CultureInfo)	Overloaded. Converts the value of this instance to its equivalent string representation, using the specified format. The following custom formatter are already added: ByteSizeFormatter, MetricUnitFormatter (Defined by Extensions.)
	TryDispose	Tries to performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources. This will dispose an object if it implements the IDisposable interface. (Defined by Extensions.)
