        carousel = new CarouselView();
            carousel.BindingContext = this;
            carousel.ItemTemplate = itemTemplate;
            carousel.SetBinding(CarouselView.ItemsSourceProperty, new Binding(nameof(this.Items), mode: BindingMode.OneWay));
   LinearItemsLayout linearItemsLayout = new LinearItemsLayout(ItemsLayoutOrientation.Horizontal);
            linearItemsLayout.SnapPointsAlignment = SnapPointsAlignment.Start;
            linearItemsLayout.SnapPointsType = SnapPointsType.Mandatory;
           carousel.ItemsLayout = linearItemsLayout;


 this.Children.Add(carousel,0,1);

Solution

  • The easiest way of doing something like that would be to use the Horizontal CollectionView

    CollectionView can display its items in a horizontal list by setting its ItemsLayout property to HorizontalList:

    When you check the documents it gives a similar example

    <CollectionView ItemsSource="{Binding Monkeys}"
                ItemsLayout="HorizontalList">
    <CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Grid Padding="10">
                <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                    <RowDefinition Height="35" />
                    <RowDefinition Height="35" />
                </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <ColumnDefinition Width="70" />
                    <ColumnDefinition Width="140" />
                </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <Image Grid.RowSpan="2"
                       Source="{Binding ImageUrl}"
                       Aspect="AspectFill"
                       HeightRequest="60"
                       WidthRequest="60" />
                <Label Grid.Column="1"
                       Text="{Binding Name}"
                       FontAttributes="Bold"
                       LineBreakMode="TailTruncation" />
                <Label Grid.Row="1"
                       Grid.Column="1"
                       Text="{Binding Location}"
                       LineBreakMode="TailTruncation"
                       FontAttributes="Italic"
                       VerticalOptions="End" />
            </Grid>
        </DataTemplate>
    </CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
    

    Alternatively, this layout can also be accomplished by setting the ItemsLayout property to a LinearItemsLayout object, specifying the Horizontal ItemsLayoutOrientation enumeration member as the Orientation property value:

    <CollectionView ItemsSource="{Binding Monkeys}">
    <CollectionView.ItemsLayout>
        <LinearItemsLayout Orientation="Horizontal" />
    </CollectionView.ItemsLayout>
    ...
    </CollectionView>
    

    This results in a single row list, which grows horizontally as new items are added:
