# Page

The `Page` control is the center point of activity in a Wisej.NET application. It's a container used to show content to a user (alongside the [Form](https://docs.wisej.com/docs/controls/containers/form) and [Desktop](https://docs.wisej.com/docs/controls/containers/desktop)).

Only **one** `Page` can be shown to the user at a time.

## Page Navigation

There are several ways to navigate between pages in a Wisej.NET application.

### Show()

Using the `Show()` method on a `Page` instance will show the page to the user, replacing any previously-displayed page.

{% hint style="info" %}
Calling `Show()` will not dispose any previously-shown `Page`, but rather it stays in the `Application.OpenPages` collection for later usage.
{% endhint %}

#### Showing a previously-hidden Page:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="C#" %}

```csharp
Application.OpenPages["nameOfMyPage"].Show();
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Setting MainPage

If a `Page` needs to be replaced, set the `Application.MainPage` property.

{% hint style="info" %}
Setting `Application.MainPage` will not dispose any previously-shown `Page`, but rather it stays in the `Application.OpenPages` collection for later usage.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Switching the application's page will not affect the shown `Form` instances.
{% endhint %}

## Features

### AutoScroll

The `AutoScroll` property of the `Page` control determines whether scroll bars automatically appear when the control contents exceed its visible area.
