Xamarin form, Add border color for 'Image' Control for Windows 8 application

Question

I am developing a mobile application using Xamarin Forms, I want to add borders to the image dynamically based on data.

On iOS, Android applications, using renderers, I can add border colors.

But on Windows 8 application, I cannot add the border. I think it is because of System.Widows.Controls.Image does not have a property to set the borders thickness and border color.

is there any way to add the border to the image on Renderer of Windows Phone application?

I'm currently not able to provide you a detailed example, but this is how it should work:

Create a renderer for Windows Phone. In the OnElementChanged method override you can create a 'native' Windows Phone border element, add the image to the border and after that call the SetNativeControl(border); method to add the border with the image inside it.

        var border = new Border() {BorderBrush = Colors.Red, BorderThickness = new Thickness(10)};
        border.Child = new Image();

        SetNativeControl(border);
