.netstandard compatibility

[bkind]

Hi,

Can I use Syncfusions Xamarin Forms controls in a .netstandard project? In other words: Are the Syncfusion Xamarin Forms controls compatible with .netstandard? And if so, how could I do that, e. g. how could I use SFDataGrid (which assemblies to reference etc.)?

Kind regards

[Saravana Pandian Murugan]

Hi Kind,

Sorry for the delay.

As of now, Xamarin.Forms itself provide support for .NET Standard in their prerelease version alone. We will provide support for .NET Standard once Xamarin.Forms provides support in their stable version.

Please let us know if you have any other queries.

Regards,
Saravana Pandian M.

Hi, Has there been any updates here?  Any plans for releasing a library with support for .netstandard 2.0?

thanks!!

[Saravana Pandian Murugan]

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for the update. As per our previous update, still Xamarin.Forms itself provide support for .NET Standard in their prerelease version alone. We will provide support for .NET Standard once Xamarin.Forms provides support in their stable version.

Hi Saravana,

as David Ortinau of Xamarin states in this blog post  on 2017-09-28, Xamarin.Forms 2.4 is now supporting .NetStandard 2.0 in a stable version.

Any updates from the Syncfusion side?

Regards,

Manfred

Hi Manfred,

Thanks for getting back to us.

We are already working on the compatibility of .NET Standard for our Xamarin controls and it will be available from Volume 4, 2017 release which is expected to be rolled out on the first week of November, 2017.

Thanks,

Any update on ETA as we enter the 3rd week of Nov? As of today I see, at least for SfChart, that the latest nuget released on sept 29 isn't .net standard compat. Really looking forward to this  :)   any update would be appreciated.

[Saravana Pandian Murugan]

Hi Saravana,

Great job!

Regards,

Jairo Marques

[Saravana Pandian Murugan]

Hi Jairo,

[Jairo Martins Marques]

Hi Saravana,

yes, it's really there and I'm testing it now with some not related Syncfusion issues.

Just for information for those that are using .Net Standard:

https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=59313 (Compilation error in Android project when using .Net Standard NuGet package in .Net Standard base library)

https://github.com/Microsoft/msbuild/issues/2615 (MSBuild cannot build Xamarin.Android referencing a netstandard base library if the library contains a NuGet reference #2615)

I hope somebody find a solution.

I am too trying to run a Xamarin Forms application with .NET Standard 2.0 and Syncfusion.  However it seems that Syncfusion does not support this currently.

Could someone from Syncfusion provide support or advice on when .NET Standard 2.0 be supported?

I have installed the latest version of Syncfusion, version 15.4.0.17 released on the 14th of November 2017.

Thanks

Hi Jairo, 

 

We have provided support for .NET Standard 1.0 from our Volume 4, 2017 release and  it is also compatible with .NET Standard 2.0.

Hi Vijay,

I'm using this version since november, 14 without any issue.

I think XamDevDave is having problem, not me.

XamDevDave, did you change you project from PCL to .Net Standard? I did and everything is working properly.

Regards,

Jairo Marques

Hi, I can confirm, sfcalendar for Xamarin Forms using .NET Standard 2.0 is working successfully for me too now.

Thanks!

SfNavigationDrawer.iOS 16.2.0.42 is not compatible with netstandard 2.0. It supports xamarinios10 ( Xamarin.iOS  Version=v1.0 ). I have no Mac, but i want to compile all three projects, perhaps i get later a Mac. But this is not possible. I can't install the SFNavigationDrawer because of this error. Can anybody help me or tell me a little bit more about this error message?

[Michael Prabhu M]

Hi Hans, 

 

We have analyzed your query and we suspect you are referring the Xamarin.iOS assembly in the Xamarin.Forms .Net Standard and thus this issue. Based on your requirement we have prepared a simple sample for NavigationDrawer and it can be downloaded from the link below. 

 

Sample: NavigationDrawerSample
 

 

Also, to get more clarity on the assembly usage, you can refer the user guide document below. 

 

UG Link: https://help.syncfusion.com/xamarin/introduction/control-dependencies#sfnavigationdrawer 

 

Hope this helps 

 

Thanks, 

Michael
