Creating the control

Creating the Swiper control is a straightforward process. We just need to make sure that we select the correct item template, which is the Content View, by doing the following:

1. In the .NET Standard library project, create a folder called Controls.
2. Right-click on the Controls folder, select Add, and then click New item... .
3. Select Visual C# Items and then Xamarin.Forms in the left pane of the Add New Item dialog box.
4. Select the Content View item. Make sure you don't select the Content View (C#) option; this only creates a C# file and not a XAML file.
5. Name the control SwiperControl.xaml.
6. Click Add.

This adds a XAML file for the UI and a C# code-behind file. It should look like the following screenshot:
