silverlight - In a xaml file, how can I use a event handler from another cs file? -

for example, have button click event in xaml file: < button x:name="buttonfindcoordinate" content="map coordinate" click="buttonfindcoordinate_click" />

to knowledge, buttonfindcoordinate_click event handler must function code behind cs file. there way can reference event handler cs file in xaml file (for example, button aa.xaml file, , have event handler function saved in bb.cs)? how can write code?

thanks,

i better practice extract logic of handler separate class have both click handlers call same method.

for example

in a.xaml.cs

private void buttonfindcoordinate_click(object sender, eventargs e)  {      string postcode = coordinatefinder.findpostcode(txtbuttonfind.text); } 

and b.xaml.cs

private void otherbutton_click(object sender, eventargs e) {     string postcode = coordinatefinder.findpostcode(txtsomeotherfield.text); } 

and coordinatefinder class like.

public class coordinatefinder  {     public static string findpostcode(string coordinates)     {          // shared code here.     }  } 

the reason it's better practice not 'share' click handler across classes, want code readable , maintainable possible.

imagine if come in few months , see click handler class b calling click handler class - have read click handler of discover does.

furthermore if (or on team) update aa.xaml.cs, might access fields aa.xaml break bb.cs without knowledge.

hope helps -
