Exploring Xamarin Forms: Enhancing Your App's UI with Images

In Xamarin.Forms, the Image control is used to display an image in your application's user interface. The Image control can display images from a variety of sources, including resources, files, and URLs.

The Image control supports several properties that can be used to control the way the image is displayed, such as Aspect, HeightRequest, and WidthRequest. You can also use data binding to dynamically set the Source property of the Image control.

Please watch the video to understand image briefly

Here's an example of how to use the Image control in your Xamarin.Forms application:

Add the Image control to your XAML page:

<Image Source="myImage.png" />
Set the Source property of the Image control to the path of the image you want to display. You can use a local file path or a URL:
        // Local file path
        <Image Source = "myImage.png" />

        // URL
        <Image Source = "https://www.example.com/myImage.png" />

You can also set additional properties of the Image control, such as the width and height:

<Image Source="myImage.png" WidthRequest="200" HeightRequest="200" />

If you want to display an image from your application's resources, you can use the following syntax:

<Image Source="{local:ImageResource myImage.png}" />

This will look for the image in the application's resource directory.

Aspect Property of Image Control

In Xamarin.Forms, the Aspect property of the Image control is used to control how the image is displayed within the available space.

The Aspect property can be set to one of the following values.

AspectFit: It will show full image in available space. It will not occupy full space This is the default value.

AspectFill: This image will occupied all space without streching image and cropped the image

Fill: It will show full image with streching the image to full all space.

Here's an example of how to set the Aspect property of an Image control in XAML:

<Image Source="image.png" Aspect="AspectFill" />
