How can I center a label now that XAlign is no longer supported?

Here's the code I was using:

 <Label x:Name="detail3" Grid.Row="2" FontSize="35" XAlign="Center" VerticalOptions="Center" LineBreakMode="WordWrap" />

But I understand XAlign should no longer be used.

XAlign has been deprecated for the better named HorizontalTextAlignment

Similarly YAlign has been deprecated for VerticalTextAligment

So to horizontal align the text for your Label you can do the following:

<Label x:Name="detail3" Grid.Row="2" FontSize="35" VerticalTextAlignment="Center" HorizontalTextAlignment="Center"  LineBreakMode="WordWrap" />

See https://developer.xamarin.com/api/type/Xamarin.Forms.Label/

HorizontalTextAlignment

Center, End, or Start, to indicate the horizontal placement of the label text.

VerticalTextAlignment

Center, End, or Start, to indicate the vertical placement of the label text.

If you want to Label control in centre align use the -HorizontalOptions="Centre" 

<Label x:Name="detail3" Grid.Row="2" FontSize="35" XAlign="Center" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="Centre"  LineBreakMode="WordWrap" />

If you want to Label's text in centre align use the -HorizontalTextAlignment="Centre" 

<Label x:Name="detail3" Grid.Row="2" FontSize="35" XAlign="Center" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalTextAlignment="Centre"  LineBreakMode="WordWrap" />
