Referencing Essential Studio^® Components in Your Solution

• Adding namespace for the added assemblies.

C#

using Syncfusion.SfRating.iOS;

• Now add the SfRating control with a required optimal name by using the included namespace.

C#

SFRating rating;
	
	public override void ViewDidLoad()
	{
		base.ViewDidLoad();
		rating = new SfRating();
		rating.Frame = new CGRect(10, 310, this.View.Frame.Width, 60);
		this.Add(rating);
	}
