Hands-On Mobile Development with .NET Core

Xamarin.Forms

In the previous examples, you can easily see that Xamarin.Forms greatly simplifies the process of creating UI mobile applications on two complete different platforms using the same declarative view tree, even though the native approaches on these platforms are, in fact, almost completely different.

From a UI renderer perspective, Xamarin.Forms provides the native rendering with two different ways of using the same toolset at compile-time (compiled XAMLs) and at runtime (runtime rendering).  In both scenarios, page-layout-view hierarchies that are declared in XAML layouts are rendered using renderers. Renderers can be described as the implementations of the view abstractions on target platforms. For instance, the renderer for ...
