Multi-column SfPicker shows the .NET object name instead of the item

Hi,
I tried to both run the multi-column example available in the Syncfusion documentation and to create an example myself, but the SfPicker does not show the items rather it shows a number of "System.Collections.ObjectModel.ObservableCollection" items, like if ToString() was invoked on the object name.

Also, for example in the official sample, instead of displaying two columns with the list of supplied items in each column, it just show two items with the .NET name which I suppose to represent the two properties the data model exposes.

For the sake of completeness, I'm using VS 2017 and the version of the SfPicker package is 15.4.0.17. I only tried on iOS (this is my current requirement) and the SfPickerRenderer has been initialized.

This is also what I get if I simply open and run the official sample with no edits.

Any hints on this? thanks in advance
Alessandro

Hello.Thanks for your response.I am talking about multi-column pickers,the ones from here => https://help.syncfusion.com/xamarin/sfpicker/populatingitems .

I modified the sample you sent to me,and will upload it here.When I run this sample it results in the same screenshot I sent you in the first question(I don't see 3 columns with the correct values  ,but instead I see a list with 3 ObservableCollection class names).

Thanks,Norbert
