I was checking out how to use the new C# Markup functionality in my Xamarin.Forms app and I tried to implement it in a list.
However upon checking the documentation, I couldn't find an example on how to implement it. So I tried it like this:
Page code, viewModel.Init() just gets the data for technologies:
protected override void OnAppearing()
{
base.OnAppearing();
viewModel.Init();
Content = new CollectionView
{
BackgroundColor = Color.Purple,
ItemTemplate = new DataTemplate(typeof(TechCardView))
}.Bind(ItemsView.ItemsSourceProperty, nameof(viewModel.Technologies));
}
ViewModel code just in case:
public override void Init()
{
_ = GetStockTechnologies();
}
private async Task GetStockTechnologies()
{
Technologies = await _getTechnologies.BuildUseCaseTaskAsync(null);
}
I thought this would work because Technologies is a IEnumerable of TechObject, and inside TechCardView I have only one property that is of type TechObject, but I couldn't find a way to do a {Binding .} inside DataTemplate like I would in XAML.
This is what I could get with the documentation in C# Markup and the DataTemplate documentation and while I do get data, the list does not show any items.
What's the proper way to do this?
