Starting open tasks in the UIP Application Block

[Mark Jones]

Does anyone know of a good existing walk-through style tutorial on the
User Interface Application Block (UIPAB)?

I've read through the whole UIP Application Block reference manual a
couple of times but it is missing some details and is not that
appropriate for beginners.

Also, I am confused by something stated in the UIPAB reference:

Under the heading "Starting and Resuming Tasks" the reference tell you
that to start a task you must call:

UIPManager.StartOpenNavigationTask(name As String, firstViewName As String)

where name is the name of the navigationGraph element in app.config. But
elsewhere in the reference it states:

"If you are using the open navigator, you do not need to define any of
the optional sections [includes navigationGraph element, I presume]
because you call the views directly."

How then do you start an Open Navigator without naming it in the config
file?

Getting a bit desperate for an answer. Thanks for the help.
