Hi Abeer,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion.

The alias can be added for the nuget package reference using below code snippet.

Please add below code snippet in *.csproj

<Aliases>syncfusion</Aliases>

OK, i ran into another issue.

I have placed a PdfViewer and with its relevent namespace in xaml but VS raises some errors:

1.The type or namespace name 'Parsing' does not exist in the namespace 'Syncfusion.Pdf' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

2. The type or namespace name 'PdfDocumentBase' does not exist in the namespace 'Syncfusion.Pdf' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

so, how can i give alias in xaml namespace
