LongListSelector not working (not navigating to other pages)

Question

I have implemented a LongListSelector for my Windows Phone 7 app. However when I tap an item it doesn't navigate to the desired page. Does anyone know why and how this can be fixed? Below is my code. Each page has it's own uri and I want to navigate to different pages.

All help would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks

Code:

If what you are trying to achieve is navigate to another page when you tap on an item you should just register for the Tap event inside your Item DataTemplate and in the event handler do something like this:

Private Sub Item_Tap(sender As Object, e As GestureEventArgs)
    Dim element As FrameworkElement = TryCast(sender, FrameworkElement)
    Dim item As JumpDemo = TryCast(element.DataContext, JumpDemo)

    Dim addressString As String = item.Link
    Dim pageUri As Uri = New Uri(addressString, UriKind.Relative)
    NavigationService.Navigate(pageUri)

End Sub
