The below code illustrates how to navigate to another page.

Code behind code for main page:

namespace DrawerExample
{
public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        SfNavigationDrawer navigationDrawer = new SfNavigationDrawer();
        Title = "Navigation Drawer";
        //Drawer content.
        Grid drawercontentlayout = new Grid();
        Label drawer = new Label();
        drawer.Text = "Drawer Content";
        drawer.FontSize = 14;
        drawer.TextColor = Color.Black;
        drawer.HorizontalTextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center;
        drawer.VerticalTextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center;
        drawercontentlayout.Children.Add(drawer);
        navigationDrawer.DrawerContentView = drawercontentlayout;
 
        //Header 
        Grid headerLayout = new Grid();
        headerLayout.BackgroundColor = Color.FromHex("#1aa1d6");
        Label header = new Label();
        header.Text = "Header View";
        header.FontSize = 14;
        header.TextColor = Color.White;
        header.HorizontalTextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center;
        header.VerticalTextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center;
        header.BackgroundColor = Color.FromHex("#1aa1d6");
        headerLayout.Children.Add(header);
        navigationDrawer.DrawerHeaderView = headerLayout;
 
        //Footer 
        Grid footerlayout = new Grid();
        footerlayout.BackgroundColor = Color.FromHex("#1aa1d6");
        Label footer = new Label();
        footer.Text = "Footer View";
        footer.FontSize = 14;
        footer.TextColor = Color.White;
        footer.HorizontalTextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center;
        footer.VerticalTextAlignment = TextAlignment.Center;
        footer.BackgroundColor = Color.FromHex("#1aa1d6");
        footerlayout.Children.Add(footer);
        navigationDrawer.DrawerFooterView = footerlayout;
 
        navigationDrawer.Position = Position.Left;
        navigationDrawer.Transition = Transition.SlideOnTop;
        navigationDrawer.DrawerWidth = 200;
        navigationDrawer.DrawerHeaderHeight = 50;
        navigationDrawer.DrawerFooterHeight = 50;
 
        StackLayout stack = new StackLayout();
        Button bt = new Button();
        bt.Text = "Next_Page";
        bt.VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.CenterAndExpand;
        bt.HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.CenterAndExpand;
        bt.Clicked += Bt_Clicked;
        stack.Children.Add(bt);
        navigationDrawer.ContentView = stack;
 
        this.Content = navigationDrawer;
 
    }
 
    async void Bt_Clicked(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        await Navigation.PushAsync(new NavigationPage2());
    }
}
}
