Syntax

public class View : VisualElement, IViewController

Remarks

The Xamarin.Forms.View class is a base class for the Xamarin.Forms.Layout class, and most of the controls that application developers will use. Nearly all UI elements that an application developer will use are derived from Xamarin.Forms.View class. Because the Xamarin.Forms.View class ultimately inherits from Xamarin.Forms.BinableObject class, application developers can use the Model-View-ViewModel architecture, as well as XAML, to develop portable user interfaces. The remarks in the Xamarin.Forms.BindableObject topic provide a discussion of MVVM and bound properties.
