I have a listview on my page 1 which when clicked on i.e. listview item 1 when clicked an image appears, this also happens with another item and what i want is for when they have clicked the value in the listview for them to be brought to another page when clicking on the picture that appeared where text is describing the picture that popped up in the first page
For example, in listview item 1 when clicked an image of Jk Rowling appears to the right and if the user clicks on that image they go to the second page (which is working fine) but when i click on the picture on the first page i want text to load into the textbox that i have created on the second page so the user sees a long description about that author. (So i want different text to appear depending on what listview item the user has chosen)
Below is my code
FIRST PAGE

public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage

Quote: If you want to be happy, be.
Tolstoy was the youngest of 5 children of an upper class family
he attended the University of Kazan but soon left to live at his ancestral
home which he been given part inheritance for. In 1848 Tolstoy moved to
Moscow where he became embroiled in a life full of gambling, this is also
the time when Tolstoy wrote his first story called 'Childhood' which is about
the life of a young boy in 1800 Russia.
Tolstoy married Sofya Andreyevna while married Tolstoy created his
books which fought for the title of being his Magnum Opus, War & Peace and Anna
Karenina.
Tolstoy grew long tired with society as a whole as it deemed true happiness
to be heralded in fancy clothing and expensive clothes and constant lust
which Tolstoy deplored. He instated that true happiness comes from emotional
and religious commitments and decided to share his property and funds with
his family, stop drinking liquor and only ate vegetables.";
