Is it possible to run App.OnStart function from another screen ?

My application has few collections and variables that being changed within other screens and those changes are unique to each session,

once the session is submit those should be reset, therefore I need to run App.OnStart function after submit.

How can I do that ?

Hi @Anonymous ,

You can run it on the OnVisible of your first screen if you want, so switching back to that screen will run it again.

@Anonymous another idea is to add a new screen. Place a button on the screen and for the OnSelect Property paste your code from App.OnStart (As this can not be triggered once the app has loaded).

You could then use

Select(Button xyz)

Which will trigger the OnSelect. You could call this function from any place in your app.

@PowerRanger ,

The Select function can only be used for a control on the same screen (which is why I did not suggest it as the OnVisible would do the job)
