Is it possible to embed SfSpreadsheet in Xamarin.Forms

[Przemyslaw Tosinski]

 Hi, 

Is it possible to embed SfSpreadsheet in Xamarin.Forms .net standard project? We would like to use SfSpreadsheet functionality in Xamarin.Forms app when it runs on UWP (on Android and iOS we would use some placeholders about not supporting feature).

I've tried to do this by normal way, but it seems that Xamarin can't see SfSpreadsheet namespace.

<ContentPage

    xmlns:win="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Spreadsheet;assembly=Syncfusion.SfSpreadsheet.UWP; targetPlatform=Windows">

    <ContentPage.Content>

        <StackLayout BackgroundColor="Green">

            <Label

                FontAttributes="Bold"

                HorizontalOptions="Center"

                Text="Native Views Demo" />

            <Entry IsEnabled="{Binding IsSwitchOn}" Placeholder="This Entry is bound to the native switch" />

            <ios:UISwitch

                On="{Binding Path=IsSwitchOn, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceEventName=ValueChanged}"

                OnTintColor="{x:Static ios:UIColor.Red}"

                ThumbTintColor="{x:Static ios:UIColor.Blue}" />

            <androidWidget:Switch

                x:Arguments="{x:Static androidLocal:MainActivity.Instance}"

                Checked="{Binding Path=IsSwitchOn, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceEventName=CheckedChange}"

                Text="Enable Entry?" />

            <win:SfSpreadsheet x:Name="spreadsheet" FormulaBarVisibility="Visible" />

        </StackLayout>

    </ContentPage.Content>

</ContentPage>

Thanks in advance

Hi Przemyslaw,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

Your requirement to use SfSpreadsheet functionality in Xamarin.Forms app is not feasible to achieve; hence it is not possible to use custom controls in PCL project. We regret for the inconvenience caused.
