Hello,

I have a hyperlink button on my main page as follows:

<HyperlinkButton x:Name="lnkWebmaster" Content="Contact the Webmaster" NavigateUri="mailto:webmaster@mydomain.com" HorizontalAlignment="left" Canvas.Left="8" Canvas.Top="14" Foreground="#FFE2C391" />

However, when I execute this code I get an extra blank browser window along with my local email window.  Does anyone no how to do this without the extra browser window poping up?

Thanks.

Do it like this:

<HyperlinkButton x:Name="lnkWebmaster" 
                 Content="Contact the Webmaster" 
                 HorizontalAlignment="left" 
                 Canvas.Left="8" 
                 Canvas.Top="14" 
                 Foreground="#FFE2C391"
                 TargetName="_self" />
