<ViewCell>
<ViewCell.View>
<Label Text="{Binding ABC}"></Label>
</ViewCell.View>
</ViewCell>
Assuming this viewcell was inside ListView. If the content page was binding with a view model, how can I get a reference to the content page's binding. Currently, 'ABC' is referencing the property of an object in the list but i want to get the value from the content page's bindingcontext.
<ffimageloading:CachedImage.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer BindingContext="{x:Reference page}" Command="{Binding OnSignInCommand}" CommandParameter="{Binding Model}" />
</ffimageloading:CachedImage.GestureRecognizers>
@qubuss gave the correct answer below, but I would like to give more context and show an example to make it more clear:
Lets consider the following page:
<ContentPage
xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
x:Name="firstPage" -->this reference parent context
x:Class="Your_Class_Name">
<ListView x:Name="ListSource"
ItemsSource="{Binding ListSource}" >
<ListView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<ViewCell>
<Grid>
// this come from item source
<Label Text="{Binding ABC}"></Label>
<Button Command="{Binding BindingContext.CommandFromParent
, Source={x:Reference firstPage} }" />
</Grid>
</ViewCell>
/DataTemplate>
</ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>
</ContentPage>
your view Model should look like that
public class ViewModelName
{
private List<YourDataType> _listSource = new List<YourDataType>();
public List<YourDataType> ListSource
{
get => _listSource;
set
{
_listSource = value;
RaisePropertyChanged();
}
}
public ICommand CommandFromParent => new Command(HandleYourActionHere);
}
}
Explanation
When we write BindingContext.CommandFromParent
, BindingContext represents the BindingContext of firstPage(x:Name="firstPage")
which is of type ViewModelName
