Using Xamarin.Forms SfDataGrid in WPF-Project

[Julian]

Hello Support,

I have built a custom component which includes Your "SfDataGrid" in the .NetStandard 2.0 class library of a Xamarin.Forms project. With all the mentioned things in Your documentation it works perfectly under "iOS", "UWP" and "Android". Since there is the possibility to use Xamarin.Forms also together with WPF I am trying now to make it work there either. But when starting the application it crashes as soon as I try to get to the ContentPage where the component is placed in. I get the following error message: "System.ArgumentException: Breite und Höhe dürfen keine negative Zahl sein." [Width and height mustn't a negative number] You can find a screenshot of the message attached.

Are there any special settings I have to look out for? Is it already supported for WPF? Or may I have to use the specific "SfGrid.WPF" not beeing able to work with my non platform specific component I wrote?

Project information (.NetStandard 2.0):

- Syncfusion.Xamarin.SfListView (17.3.0.17)

- Syncfusion.Xamarin.SfAutoComplete (17.3.0.17)

- Syncfusion.Licensing (17.3.0.17)
