How do I make a RelativeURL in a Hyperlink from a RichTextBox in Silverlight4?

Hi,
What is the easiest way to make a hyperlink reference a relativeURI?
I've got the following code, but it expects a full URI so it doesn't work as I would like it (but works according to the specification on MSDN).

XML

<RichTextBox  IsReadOnly="True">
  <Paragraph>
    <Run>Please </Run>
    <Hyperlink 
       NavigateUri="/Books/Chapters/Page" 
       TargetName="ContentFrame"> 
       click here 
    </Hyperlink>
    <Run> to see more</Run>
  </Paragraph>
</RichTextBox>

I've had a look at a few articles:
Creating-Actionlinks-in-a-Silverlight-RichTextBox
[^]
Using-RichTextBox-in-Silverlight-4[^]
but just wondered if anyone had a simple trick to do this.
Best regards
Erik

Thanks, I'll just have a play around and see if this fixes the issue (Can't see why not, but I'll check and then come back and mark it solved). Cheers

Hmm, I've tested this with the RichTextBox Hyperlink in my solution and it still doesn't play ball. The message I get is

Microsoft JScript runtime error: Unhandled Error in Silverlight Application

Code: 4004 Category: ManagedRuntimeError

Message: System.InvalidOperationException: No XAML was found at the location '/Books/Books/Chapters/Page.xaml'.

at System.Windows.Navigation.PageResourceContentLoader.EndLoad(IAsyncResult asyncResult)...

This would be because the RtfTextBox in on a Page sitting in a navigation:Frame with a UriMapping like this:

urimapper:urimapping mappeduri="/Books/{pageName}.xaml" uri="/{pageName}",

but if I change the xaml to this I still get the error

targetname="ContentFrame" navigateuri="/Chapters/Page">

but this time it reports

Message: System.InvalidOperationException: No XAML was found at the location '/Books/Chapters/Page.xaml'.

And the /Books/Chapters/Page.xaml does exist in the root of my site.

This wasn't quite the answer, but very useful info none the less. I'll mark it as a solution. CHeers

I didn't manage to get this to work properly, so instead I just went with the quick and dirty workaround:

XML

<richtextbox isreadonly="True">
  <paragraph>
    <run>Please </run>
      <hyperlink click="Hyperlink_Click"> click here </hyperlink>
    <run> to see more</run>
  </paragraph>
</richtextbox>

And then navigate in the HyperLink_Click event

C#

private void Hyperlink_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
  TargetName="ContentFrame"
  var uri = new Uri("/Chapters/Pages", UriKind.Relative);
  NavigationService.Navigate(uri);
}
