Help for a (probably) really dumb problem in vb.net?

[KarmaEcrivain94]

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem, and I need a solution. Pretty fast.
Basically I have a TextBlock on my MainPage, but it's contents have to transfer to Page1 as soon as the user navigates there. How the hell can I do that in vb.net please? I thought of getting it to pass via an argument in the URI, but I have no idea how I could recuperate it once I'm on Page1...
I've been looking for 40 minutes, and still can't find anything, so I've come here :/

P.S. I'm a big newbie in the dev world, so I wouldn't refuse a little code alongside your explanations

I found a way around this. Pretty dirty, really not Professional, but it works just fine
Here is what I did:

On MainPage.xaml.vb:
Private Sub status_Tap(sender As Object, e As Input.GestureEventArgs) Handles StatusClick.Tap
NavigationService.Navigate(New Uri("/Page1.xaml", UriKind.Relative))
Dim objWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter("Log.txt")
objWriter.Write(GhostText.Text)
objWriter.Close()
End Sub

On page1.xaml.vb
Private Sub LayoutRoot_Loaded(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs) Handles LayoutRoot.Loaded
Dim srRead As New System.IO.StreamReader("Log.txt")
Dim strFileText As String = ""
strFileText = srRead.ReadToEnd
srRead.Close()
TextBlock1.Text = strFileText
End Sub

A dirty approach would be to create some shared fields on the app.vb and stash state there and reference via the class
