Using Xamarin with C# driver, how to connect to appium server?

Support
1

Hi All,

So I’ve been using eclipse and java this whole and have been trying to switch to C# as I’m more familiar with it. I’ve been looking at sample scripts to try to get it working but no luck. I’ve resolved all the dependency issues except for using Appium.Samples.Helper; . Can someone please show me the how to connect to the server via the IDE? I’ve included what I have below, I’m hoping I’m somewhat correct.

I’ve been getting this error message:
