Celsius and Fahrenheit symbols

Hi,

I have the following in my App.xaml:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
 <Application xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
     xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
     x:Class="MyApp.App">
     <Application.Resources>
         <ResourceDictionary>
             <x:String x:Key="SymbolCelsius">\x00B0</x:String>
         </ResourceDictionary>
     </Application.Resources>
 </Application>

How can I display it now on a Label control?

I tried the following but did not work:

 MyLabel,Text = App.Current.Resources["SymbolCelsius"];

Thanks,
Jassim

Hello,

Xamarin could use HTML Entities to display SymbolCelsius, you can try to use following string in your <ResourceDictionary>.

<x:String x:Key="SymbolCelsius">&#186;</x:String>

And use it like following code.

mylabel.Text = App.Current.Resources["SymbolCelsius"].ToString();

Best Regards,

Leon Lu

This is what worked for me:

 <Application.Resources>
     <ResourceDictionary>
         <x:String x:Key="SymbolCelsius">\x00B0</x:String>
     </ResourceDictionary>
 </Application.Resources>

Thank you
