How to load images from Internet in .NET MAUI Rotator (SfRotator)?

This document explains how to add images from internet in .NET MAUI Rotator. We can achieve it by following the below steps,

Step 1: Initialize the Rotator control in xaml page with all required assemblies.

XAML:

<syncfusion:SfRotator x:Name="rotator"/>

Step 2: Create the Model class with the properties need to be assigned.

C#:

public class RotatorModel
{
    public RotatorModel(string image)
    {
        Image = image;
    }
    private string _image;
    public string Image
    {
        get { return _image; }
        set { _image = value; }
    }
}

Step 3: Create the ViewModel class and add image collection of URL that needs to be bound with the data source.

C#

 public class RotatorViewModel
 {
     public RotatorViewModel()
     {
         ImageCollection.Add(new RotatorModel("https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQe0ub78kIqvmA13W9Sr6VdDcu0ciXwScvgKgDKQuitqLAQoUxJng"));
         ImageCollection.Add(new RotatorModel("https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ-6rRDNIfS0JE47sDceHbY4FkY15Hl88OOzC_BFIRWcawLlIsk"));
         ImageCollection.Add(new RotatorModel("https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRSgxX4vNJToErxuEprfne9xvIOkLO262VfYNcDm5iCGnagzJDs"));
         ImageCollection.Add(new RotatorModel("https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSsIYs-RihLWXHvr6tqkOVxaRvjBqIUZpqH6_gJD0spZbB46rSRfQ"));
         ImageCollection.Add(new RotatorModel("https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRTCkvGBaNwtSdkefoj_2QLYK4KRwHNH6hgaPIwXf2cqd1AN_CG"));
     }
     private List<RotatorModel> imageCollection = new List<RotatorModel>();
     public List<RotatorModel> ImageCollection
     {
         get { return imageCollection; }
         set { imageCollection = value; }
     }
 }
 

Step 4: Initialize the Rotator control in XAML page in which the ViewModel class set to BindingContext.

    <syncfusion:SfRotator 
                x:Name="rotator"  
                ItemsSource="{Binding ImageCollection}">

        <syncfusion:SfRotator.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Image Source="{Binding Image}"/>
            </DataTemplate>
        </syncfusion:SfRotator.ItemTemplate>
    </syncfusion:SfRotator>
