You use the NavigationContext class to retrieve the query string values for a navigation request. With the query string values, you can generate the desired state of a page for a navigation request. For example, you can store in the query string the identifier of the record you wish to display on a page.

To access an instance of the NavigationContext class, you use the NavigationContext property of the Page class.
