    On the destination page , please override OnNavigatedTo as
    protected override void OnNavigatedTo(System.Windows.Navigation.NavigationEventArgs e)
    {

    string l = “”, lo = “”;
    bool v1 = NavigationContext.QueryString.TryGetValue(“l”, out l);
    bool v2 = NavigationContext.QueryString.TryGetValue(“lo”, out lo);

    base.OnNavigatedTo(e);
    }
