Xamarin: load page as an object

Update: I edited the program, now the problem is that it is not recognizing the children section and the class in the button class

public App()
    {
        MainPage = new NavigationPage(new buttonPage());
        NavigationPage.PushAsync(new buttonPage.hello());
    }

and the buttonPage on the same file

  public class buttonPage : ContentPage
{
    public void hello()
    {
        Button hi = new Button
        {
            Text = "GO",
            HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center,
            VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center
        };
        Content = new ContentPage()
        {
            children = { hi }
        };

    }
}

You need a NavigationPage to wrap your main page so that you can transition to other pages.

If you want your MenuPage to have a Back button then you'd use PushAsync, if you want it to replace the current page - PushModalAsync

Also: split your pages in separate classes and files, it quickly becomes way too messy to maintain page-within-page stuff

public class App: Application{
  public App(){
    MainPage = new NavigationPage(new ButtonPage());
  }
...
}

public class ButtonPage : ContentPage{
...
  async void OnButtonClicked(object sender, EventArgs args){
     await Navigation.PushModalAsync(new MenuPage());
  }
}
