Xamarin.Forms - Calendar Control in Syncfusion

Introduction

In this article, you will learn about using Syncfusion Calendar Control in Xamarin.Forms. These features are not included by default in Xamarin.Forms controls. So, we need to install separate NuGet Packages.

Nuget Packages

Package Name : "Syncfusion.Xamarin.SfCalendar”

Overview of Syncfusion.Xamarin. SfCalendar

The Calendar control provides a multi-view representation to display and select one or more dates within specified ranges. It also provides a gesture-friendly UI to perform operations like navigations, events, and more.

Pre- Requirements

  • Windows 10 (Recommended)
  • Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition (It is a free software available online).
