Xamarin SfBackdropPage .NET MAUI SfBackdropPage
Syncfusion.XForms.Backdrop Syncfusion.Maui.Backdrop

Initialize control

To initialize the control, import the Backdrop namespace and initialize the SfBackdropPage as shown in the following code sample.

Xamarin Backdrop page 
<backdrop:SfBackdropPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
                         xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
                         xmlns:backdrop="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.XForms.Backdrop;assembly=Syncfusion.SfBackdrop.XForms"
                         x:Class="BackdropGettingStarted.BackdropSamplePage"
                         Title="Menu">

</backdrop:SfBackdropPage>
using Syncfusion.XForms.Backdrop;	
namespace BackdropGettingStarted
{
    public partial class BackdropSamplePage : SfBackdropPage
    {
        public BackdropSamplePage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            this.Title = "Menu";
        }
    }
}
.NET MAUI Backdrop page 
<backdrop:SfBackdropPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
                         xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
                         x:Class="BackdropGettingStarted.BackdropSamplePage"
                         Title="Menu"
                         xmlns:backdrop="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Backdrop;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Backdrop"
                         >
