Question

Hi I want to use bootstrap css in xamarin forms.

Hi Bhautik, Xamarin works with native development and we can't use Bootstrap. You need to use XAML, what is a markup language (close than html), that serves to personalize and define your layout. If you want to make a centralized styling for each of your forms then you can use Resource Dictionary which defines under App.xaml file of your PCL project of Xamarin.Forms and you can use this resource dictionary in your form by doing a dynamic binding. Thanks

You can not use bootstrap in xamarin forms because XAML language is used for designing in xamarin form so if you want to style your xamarin form you have to use a style tag or you can add a CSS file to your .NET Standard library project and add a stylesheet to app.xaml file. refer this site may it will help you: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/user-interface/styles/
