How to use Xamarin Community Toolkit extension properties and attributes in the C# code behind?

Issue

I am using Xamarin.Community Toolkit's ShadowEffect.Color and IconTintColorEffect.TintColor through XAML and it is working fine, but how can I achieve this through the C# Code Behind. I have searched on Google and Community Forums but could not find anything.

Here is my code in XAML:

<BoxView BackgroundColor="White" xct:ShadowEffect.Color="Black" />
<Image Source="{extensions:ImageResource MyProject.Images.sample.png" xct:IconTintColorEffect.TintColor="Blue" />

Everything is working fine in XAML, but I want to achieve this from C# code behind.

Solution

ShadowEffect.SetColor(boxView, Color.Black);

IconTintColorEffect.SetTintColor(image, Color.Blue);

Where boxView and image are instances either from your xaml by using x:Name or instantiated in code.
