On the following link you will find the code and video for a RoundedBoxView (half way down the page).

If you create this within your project you can then do the following to create your rounded box label:-

*) Grid as the outer control.

*) Create a RoundedBoxView as a child of the Grid to create your circle - You could either specify fixed width/height on the grid outer control to know what value to specify the RoundedBoxView's CornerRadius property, or alternatively hook into the SizeChanged event handler to set the values.

*) Create a Label control also as a child of the Grid control, and center the position of it.

You can then create your Hole text in a Label within a horizontal StackLayout and then add the above in to create the effect you desire.
