>Don't need to ...
OK, I give up. I follow your instructions and notice that I have to rebuild project between a few steps. Fine, I know how to do that. Project compiles successfully. When trying to navigate to Employees page, I get a message from the web page something like Page /Employee cannot be found. Debugger seems to croak on Employee.cs InitializeComponent -call. About and Home work great. Evidently something in the data wiring or XAML is busted. 2 hours later: can't move forward.
