Net4x.Xamarin.Forms.Core

The platform-independent half of Xamarin.Forms — the shared UI abstraction that per-platform renderers map onto native controls at runtime.

dotnet add package Net4x.Xamarin.Forms.Core

You normally do not reference this package directly: a backend package such as Net4x.Xamarin.Forms.Platform.GTK brings it in.

What is in it

Xamarin.Forms.Core.dll (netstandard2.0) contains everything that does not depend on a specific platform:

  • The property system — BindableObject / BindableProperty, backing data bindings, styles and triggers.
  • The visual tree — Element → VisualElement → View / Page / Layout, plus layout and measurement.
  • Shell — flyout/tab navigation and URI-based routing.
  • Resources and styling — ResourceDictionary, Style, and CSS StyleSheets.
  • App services — MessagingCenter, DependencyService, Device, the animation system.
  • PlatformConfiguration — the <Platform>Specific extension-method surface.
  • Xamarin.Forms.Internals.Registrar, which maps a Forms type to a renderer type (keyed by Visual and priority) and is populated from [assembly: ExportRenderer] and friends during each backend's Forms.Init(...).

Companion packages

Package Purpose
Net4x.Xamarin.Forms.Platform Facade this package references; the real assembly is supplied per platform
Net4x.Xamarin.Forms.Xaml Runtime XAML loader and markup extensions
Net4x.Xamarin.Forms.Build.Tasks Build-time XAML code generation and IL compilation
Net4x.Xamarin.Forms.Maps Map control abstraction
Net4x.Xamarin.Forms.Platform.GTK GTK3 backend

AssemblyVersion is deliberately frozen at 2.0.0.0 for binding compatibility; the package version is the one that moves.

About this fork

Maintenance fork of the 5.0.0 branch of xamarin/Xamarin.Forms, published under the Net4x. package prefix. Upstream Xamarin.Forms reached end of support on May 1, 2024 and was succeeded by .NET MAUI; new applications should target .NET MAUI instead.
