Is there a way to send a XAML parameter along with a Tapped event?

Question

My code uses constructs like this:

<ViewCell Tapped="openPRTPage">

<ViewCell Tapped="openCVIPage">

In the code behind I have a method for each.

But is it possible to pass some parameter that I declare in the XAML to the back end code so that I could have just one method and use the parameter to decide which page gets opened?

Using the MVVM pattern you could use a Command and a CommandParameter. Since it is not possible to use a Command on a ViewCell you will have to find a way to bind you event to command. Luckily it can be easily done using behaviours. There is an official guide on how to implement it.
