SfCharts not rendering

[Jacob Miller]

Hey,

I'm trying to get a chart to render in my xamarin pcl app but I can;t seem to get it to work.

I've installed SfChart.Xforms via nuget package and my xaml page looks like this:

xmlns:chart="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.SfChart.XForms;assembly=Syncfusion.SfChart.XForms"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"

x:Class="CrossPlatformApp.ChartPage">

however when i try to run the application it just returns a completely blank page. What can i do to try and get a chart to render?

Thanks for the quick reply,

In that example the chart is being written in c# and I'm looking to build it in xaml as that's how the rest of my app is already built. Do you have a charts example that has the chart coded in xaml as opposed to c#? as when i followed the tutorial that you linked I was still getting the issue of no chart rendering and I can't seem to find the issue as it is compiling with no errors.

Thanks,

Jacob
