Connecting to SQL server via xamarin is not that much good idea. I strongly not recommend this. If you have to do something with database at mobile I can suggest you SQLLite . You can find many example how people do with this.

The best approach will be creating a WebApi to handle logic and database works and communicate via json requests to your mobile app.

This is a huge concept that can not be easily expalin as a answer here. I suggest you to split your works by creating your web api and mobile ui at diffrent solutions.

  • Create a web api with .net core
  • Create your mobile app
  • Send your request from one platfrm to other one via json.

Anyway If you want to see a real world example to handle similiar goals as your have a look to this sample that created by Microsoft.
