Modifying Views

In a Xamarin project, the Views are based on the XAML technology and each view corresponds to a client message that was defined in the ePortal DataSource project. The scaffolding process generates Xamarin controls in each view, based on the control types defined in the client message. Not all control types will have a direct equivalent in Xamarin Forms, and in some instances a best possible match is applied. For example, a checkbox is generated as a Switch control.

While the application operates correctly after scaffolding, the layout and styling of each View should be adjusted based on your requirements.

For example, if you want to make changes to the Login page, open the corresponding XAML View file (For example, LogonPage.xaml) and make your changes by adding or updating the controls and formatting.

Note: It is recommended to have some level of familiarity with XAML, C# and Xamarin Forms development before making changes to the scaffolded Xamarin Forms project.
