CarouselView not working in Xamarin.Forms

I would like to use CarouselView , I have installed it already (CarouselView.FormsPlugin) and I checked the packeges.config of my project and it is already there :

but still I am getting this error The type or namespace name 'CarouselView' could not be found in the global namespace (are you missing an assembly reference?) how can I fix this problem?

In my case, I had the wrong namespace in the XAML inside <ContentPage> tag. This is correct:

xmlns:controls="clr-namespace:CarouselView.FormsPlugin.Abstractions;assembly=CarouselView.FormsPlugin.Abstractions"

It looks like you're not using the official CarouselView. In the case of the CarouselView.FormsPlugin, the name is a CarouselViewControl.

Try it like this: 

<controls:CarouselViewControl x:Name="myView">
    <controls:CarouselViewControl.ItemTemplate>
            <DataTemplate>
                <Label Text="{Binding .}" HorizontalOptions="Center" VerticalOptions="Center"/>

            </DataTemplate>
        </controls:CarouselViewControl.ItemTemplate>
    </controls:CarouselViewControl>

Could you show your code in XAML?

Maybe you forgot to put the assembly / namespace?

If so try to put this in your content page tag: xmlns:carousel="clr-namespace:CarouselView.Forms.Plugin;assembly=CarouselView.Forms.Plugin"

When you do that you can call the control with :
