The Navigation Frame is a "Master Page" for Silverlight Applications.
You can do 3 basic things on your button click event:
1. Go back to the previous page:
this.navigationframe.GoBack();
2. Go to specific page:
this.ContentFrame.Navigate(new System.Uri("yourpage.xaml", System.UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute));
3. Go forward if you are in previous page:
this.ContentFrame.GoForward();
So, you cannot close a page, you can navigate through them.
Hope it helps and answers your question.
