This topic gives a brief overview of the new controls and features introduced in the Ultimate UI for Xamarin 2017 Volume 2 Release.
The XamDataGrid control has functionality to allow grouping of your rows by a property on your underlying data item. This is useful if you have duplicate data values for different records, and would like to see your records sectioned by the property path that contains those duplicate values.

A new control called XamDoughnutChart was added to Ultimate UI for Xamarin.
The doughnut chart control is similar to the pie chart – proportionally illustrating the occurrences of a variable. The XamDoughnutChart control can display multiple variables in concentric rings. The control provides also slice selection and explosion functionality.
A new control called XamFunnelChart was added to Ultimate UI for Xamarin.
A funnel chart is a type of chart that displays quantities as percentages of a whole, much like a pie chart. Funnel charts are commonly used to display quantitative data in relation to stages of a process. For example, a funnel chart might display expenses of a product from the manufacturing stage to the actual sale of that product.
A new control called XamQRCodeBarcode was added to Ultimate UI for Xamarin.
The QR (Quick Response) barcode symbology is a matrix (or two-dimensional) code, readable by QR scanners, mobile phones with a camera, and smartphones. This barcode symbology is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes, as its content can be decoded at high speed.
The control now has two new views for displaying activities:
Day View
Week View
The control also supports new features like all-day events, activity grouping and the concept of working days and working hours.
