Dim instance As Border

[DefaultProperty("Content")]

Remarks

The first reason for this control's flexibility is that the Thickness & CornerRadius of all 4 sides of the Border can be set independently.

On top of that, any View control can be set as the Border's Content & aligned easily through the HorizontalContentOptions & VerticalContentOptions properties.

Finally, the Border's Content will also inherit the TextColor, FontAttributes, FontSize & FontFamily properties when they are set.

Example

The following code will surround the inserted Content with this type of Border:

XAML

<xctk:Border HeightRequest="96"
             WidthRequest="120"
             BorderThickness="10,6,5,9"
             CornerRadius="40,10,0,20"
             TextColor="Red"
             HorizontalContentOptions="Center"
             VerticalContentOptions="Center"
             Margin="20"
             BorderBrush="Orange">
 <VerticalStackLayout>
  <Label Text="My"/>
  <Label Text="Border"/>
 </VerticalStackLayout>
</xctk:Border>
