{
public KBSolutionPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
SfCarousel sfCarousel = new SfCarousel();
sfCarousel.ItemWidth = 170;
sfCarousel.ItemHeight = 250;
ObservableCollection<SfCarouselItem> collectionOfItems = new ObservableCollection<SfCarouselItem>();
collectionOfItems.Add(new SfCarouselItem() { ImageName = "images1.png" });
collectionOfItems.Add(new SfCarouselItem() { ImageName = "images2.png" });
collectionOfItems.Add(new SfCarouselItem() { ImageName = "images3.png" });
collectionOfItems.Add(new SfCarouselItem() { ImageName = "images4.png" });
collectionOfItems.Add(new SfCarouselItem() { ImageName = "images5.png" });
collectionOfItems.Add(new SfCarouselItem() { ImageName = "images6.png" });
sfCarousel.DataSource = collectionOfItems;
this.Content = sfCarousel;
}
}
- Create a carousel control using ItemTemplate
C#
public partial class KBSolutionPage : ContentPage
{
public KBSolutionPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
SfCarousel sfCarousel = new SfCarousel();
sfCarousel.ItemWidth = 170;
sfCarousel.ItemHeight = 250;
var carouselModel = new List<CarouselModel> {
new CarouselModel ("image1.png"),
new CarouselModel ("image2.png"),
new CarouselModel ("image3.png"),
new CarouselModel ("image4.png"),
new CarouselModel ("image5.png")
};
var carouselModelDataTemplate = new DataTemplate(() =>
{
var grid = new Grid();
var nameLabel = new Image();
nameLabel.SetBinding(Image.SourceProperty, "Image");
grid.Children.Add(nameLabel);
return grid;
});
sfCarousel.ItemTemplate = carouselModelDataTemplate;
sfCarousel.DataSource = carouselModel;
this.Content = sfCarousel;
}
}
public class CarouselModel
{
public CarouselModel(string imagestr)
