Hi everybody 👋, in this short blog post I will write and show you another great feature from Prism Library which you can use in a Xamarin.Forms projects.

The feature is really great and can be used for confirming or preventing the navigation from the ViewModel. Hope you will like it.

Last few days I was working on more on UI design in one of the Xamarin.Forms projects. I tried to achieve same padding/margin around my labels and I seen that there is some extra padding at the top of the Label control on Android.

Last year I made similar blog post to this, and it was about making Master Detail menu page in Xamarin.Forms. That blog post is one of the most popular posts on my blog. At this moment I am a big fan of great Prism library and I decided to write this blog post again but this time using great framework called Prism.

In this blog post we will be making our first custom control, this will be very simple control using XAML in Xamarin.Forms.

Last month I made a blogpost/tutorial where I used DependencyService and I got some email question related to that, so I decided to make a blog post about DepdendencyService.

I am very exiced to write this blog post. First time I seen EF was in ASPNET MVC and I fall in love with it, now when I am also very active in Xamarin Development, Entity Framework is something that I miss from my ASP.NET dev "world". With version Core 2.0 all platforms Android, iOS and UWP (uwp soon) are supported so I decided to write this blog post.

In this blog post we will make simple app with Realm as mobile database and show how to make CRUD operations with Realm in Xamarin.Forms. Code for this project will be available on my GitHub page: https://github.com/almirvuk.

Last night I was finishing my university project from one of the software engineering subject, and I was asking my self "How to count the lines of code in a Visual Studio Solution?"... I did not now how so I google it and find the very easy way to do that so I realized I can make a quick and short blog post about this solution. 😁

A few days ago I was on Stackoverflow I was looking at some Xamarin related question, and I find this thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43031120/difference-between-xamarin-forms-and-xamarin-cross-platform

In this tutorial I will make very simple implementation of IValueConverter in Xamarin.Forms. Till this day I was avoiding the IValueConverter for no reason but I hope after this blog post you will also use it more frequently. The title for this blog post can be also: Very simple usage of IValueConverter in Xamarin.Forms.

As you know I am playing with Xamarin.Forms for a while and last week I was involved in one projects where I needed to have ListView with data which is divided in some way... So perfect way was to have some control like pivot on UWP but in Xamarin.Forms as you know we have Tabbed page which is similar to pivot but binding and other data manipulation is different so I think that I found the way to use Tabbed page to divide data and group it with Tabbed Page.

Continuing this series of simple MVVM bindings in Xamarin.Forms. In this tutorial I will make simple ListView binding in XAML.

The blog content and future post are moved to almirvuk.com, and this blog post about Tabular and Multidimensional Model in one SQL Server 2016  is available here: https://almirvuk.com/tabular-and-multidimensional-model-in-one-sql-server-2016/

In this blog post tutorial I will do simple MVVM binding in Xamarin.Forms. For this tutorial I will use Visual Studio 2017 RC. I have found some issues by using it with Xamarin.Forms with intellisense but I am struggling with nuget packages in 2015 so in order to do anything I need to use VS 2017 RC.

I am playing with Xamarin.Forms for a little while (more precisely maybe about half year) and now I want to make some more serious project for one of  my clients.

Main logic of app was done and I wanted to make some cool navigation for app something like Navigation Drawer on Android. So I started to look up for the way to do that on Xamarin.Forms platform but the most of tutorials out there are not enough for me. Look of UI of those navigation drawers or master-detail page are not acceptable for me. So I decided to make some cool look for it and I hope that you will be satisfied with it.

SQL Server 2016 is released this month at first of the June, and in this tutorial I will demonstrate how to install SQL Server 2016 on your machine. Installation of SQL Server 2016 is more-less same as SQL Server 2014 version but this this time SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is not part of standard installation so we need to install it before or after SQL Server installation.
