If you are also having trouble because the DeleteCommand isn't triggering, double check that your is wrapped inside a tag (with an s). Once I fixed that it started working.
After working with UI Frameworks like Flutter, VueJS, and React the MAUI DATA-Binding seems way too complicated. Too many lines of code to achieve a trivial task relative to other frameworks.
Watching xaml binding is my top feature that pulls me back instead of staying completely on flutter. Hope to see a v2 of this video, with maybe bindings to animations for examples from dribble
Man, I got completely lost. This is supposed to be for beginners but it seems to assume that you already know how to develop apps. What should I learn before this? I'm a Unity developer with 10+ years of experience making games but zero experience making apps.
as someone who did some WPF in the past the 'INotifyProperyChanged' bit made me shudder... The toolkit seems cool, but in reality it works around stuff that Microsoft should of completely redesigned when approaching Maui. it's way, way, way too complicated. lots of nice stuff - but this is pretty heavy
As an experienced .NET Developer, I can safely say you are scaring the heck out of a beginner with this type of tutorial . Instead of taking interest in MAUI, they will run for the hills and never touch that with a 10 foot pole 😅😅
Quite literally this. I've been working with it for a couple of days and I've been enjoying it. Now after watching this video, I think I'm done with it. I didn't even finish this video. It was ridiculous
Amen. First impression: This is straightforward and awesome. Second impression: This is miserably and unnecessarily complex, and maybe I should use another framework.
LOL, yeah I always wonder this also looking at some fancy tutorials of the big languages/companies in the industry. This code could and should be generated. It's not something you want to code over and over again.
As a beginner myself I am struggling. James has a great video that explains MVVM which might help understand the data bindings. I am a total learn by doing sort of guy so I won't really understand any of this at all until I start trying to build something new that isn't exactly what I am being walked through.
at 16:50 why cant we just explicitly bind to the viewmodel, rather than climb up the ancestry tree until we get to the viewmodel? (im new to C#/XAML/.Net)
The Command lives in the ViewModel... but we are inside of the DataTemplate INSIDE of the collectiview so the bindingcontext is the item itself (in this case the string) so you need to poke out to say hey actually go bind up to the viewmodel for this command
@@JamesMontemagno then every time we are in the data template of some collection will it be nesessary to climb up to get the viewmodel? sorry for my english
I really don't like that the presenter uses a community toolkit to accomplish basic functionality like binding. I want to see how things are done vanilla in a beginner video.
I am having some issue when I try to run in my iphone. I have developer tool on and the app installs but it cant run. it just shows a quick moment like it is loading but then shut off. I check credentials and all of apple developer tools but nothing helps

Hi! Thanks a lot for the video! I'm trying to repeat binding of the DeleteCommand, but it can't hit a breakpoint into the Detete(string s) function of view model; How can I debug it and understand what exactly went wrong?
At around the 5:00 mark, the presenter says " it will set the code behind text value and then raise this property change notification, which means that the entry will automatically be updated and vice versa. The entry is automatically two way data bound, which means if we enter text here will automatically set the value right here in our code behind.". Can someone please explain why that is happening - is the name Text special? I didn't see anything in the that suggested it was bound to anything. Edit: OK, I've watched further in the video, and once they've stripped out all that code, at the 7:42 mark the author goes into the and binds it to the Text property - now that makes sense!
Yea but later he used plugin that alredy did that for him u can see it at 7:10 mark it says public String Text thats the one he is binding at 7:42 mark
how can I bind a list of a list ? like List manufacture [ford-tesla-mercedes-etcetc] which has inside a list of model List carModel [ka-fiesta-puma-etc] Thanks!
I find all the videos very nice and detailed, which is very useful, but personally, I can't concentrate with the background music playing when I need to focus on something. It can distract my attention. The reason is that English is not my native language, so I focus on that first and then on the code. Still, your videos are very good. Well done, keep it up! 😊
Been programming for years (decades) in various ways (mostly procedural code) - so not really a beginner per se - however, this video and the content just went way above my head. Plus, when I installed the MVVM toolkit mentioned - it has errors all the way through it - so I could not complete the follow-on pieces. Really a shame as did want to try and work my way through this. So here is my question - does anyone have suggestions about what I should learn BEFORE I try to go through this again? Note that I do not know C# (yet), nor XAML (yet) and I have not used visual studio before (so all aspects of this are new to me) - based upon this - does anyone have suggestions as to where I should really begin? My end goal is to write some apps (mainly for IOS) - but cross platform may be applicable. Wanted to use this MAUI approach so I can postpone the need to acquire a Mac until I have gone somewhere down the road. Of course I could just bite the bullet and decide to go down the xcode/swift route - but I really want to develop on the PC platform as that is where I have worked for years. Suggestions as to a route for learning would be beneficial (e.g. C# first, then XAML, and only then look at MAUI for example).
This is ridiculously overcomplicated. What should have been something like "bind = myObject.myProperty" is now a bunch of code spread to several files.
Thanks for this! I heard you say "Let me pull over my source generators" and I had to pause. I had no idea that was there in the Solution Explorer and I've been unable to navigate to the generated code (Version 17.4.0 Preview 2.1). Even though it's not what this video was about, it helped save me a bunch of frustration.

I saw it presented in Nick Chapsas vide few months earlier, I mean code generators. But the author is MS guy, so he could know it earlier.

Ok, you are binding to a ViewModel -- which, in my opinion, looks like a "mutant" because it's a kind of Model plus some infrastructure (INotifyPropertyChanged, or whatever monstrosity that toolkit nuget package decides to generate for me in the behind of the behind of the scene). But if I have a weather sensor sending me humidity and temperature, it will actually send me a Model like { temp: 25, hum: 75 } -- do I always have to translate this Model into a ViewModel (and eventually back)?
Wish this went over writing the code out instead of leaning on the community toolkit for view model interactions. Then again, I'm doing a class project and community toolkit isn't allowed, so I might be a bit biased/desperate.
James I am trying to setup a login Page to identity. when the user clicks the button I call a login procedure which is a task. It is working fine. how ever I would like the login procedure to load a bunch of data and in between the calls push status to the user on what data has loaded. I can not figure out how to do it. My code does not run properly. the ui does not update. I use statehaschanged. please help.
Every time I want to create a view model in WPF I have to write a lot of boilerplate code like this, which can be mostly avoided if I use something like React.js. Is there any improvement in MAUI to help us to avoid these coded?
@agustinbcu I'm having the same issue, and pulling my hair out with frustration. No idea what's going on, an unhelpful error message, and no stack trace either. Did you ever figure out the issue?
@@theagemaway sadly no. I was evaluating the platform for new development, but I move in other direction. Probably when the platform becomes a real release, because now do looks a stable version to me.
Hi James, I feel lucky finding your videos on this subject. Could you explain why in viewModel the defined string property "item" or "text" got capital case when you assign them??
The casing of property, method, and class names in C# follows the Pascal casing convention. Similar to how in Java camelCase is used for method and property names
I can tell you. You remember before we replaced the code with the decorators? ([IObservableProperty], [ICommand]) IF you remember, the declaration of the "string text;" had getters and setters. It was something like: private string text; public string Text { get => text; set { Text = value; OnPropertyChanged(nameof(Text))}} Well, that code is still there, you just don't see it because of the decorators. If that code was still there, would the "text" "Text" still confuse you? Also note the same thing happened with the ObservableCollection items; That list is referred to as Items elsewhere in the code for the same reason.
Thanks for excellent videos!! Why am I not able to see the Items on the Windows Machine Emulator in MVVM & XAML [5 of 8] .Net Maui. It's working fine on Android's Emulator. Appreciate your answer!
This is why I really dislike .net maui/xamarin. Helpful videos get posted and they are great for a time I'm sure, but then someone changes the name of something, and makes it such a hassle to track down the fix, and then you end up in situations like this where even the corrected code doesn't work as there are multiple breaking points. And this is less than 2 months old. For anyone else wondering, ICommand is now RelayCommand, and simply changing that will get you up to the swipe delete, which I still haven't figured out.
ObservableCollection has been around for many years: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collections.objectmodel.observablecollection-1?view=net-8.0
Trying to troubleshoot a problem with Windows Machine build.... After entering items into MyList then deleting just one item, when I try to add another item I get a crash that I cannot trace... "Value does not fall within the expected range." Figuring this issue was my fault, I cloned/ran your app and had the same problem for a Windows Machine build. I placed breakpoints in the Add() method and the app makes it though fine with appropriate action until stepping past the ending bracket of Add(), which sends me to exception handling in App.g.i.cs. Another observation... the app works as expected without crashing in the Android Simulator as well as directly on an iPhone (local iOS). I have not tried the app on MacOS yet. I am on Windows11 with VS pre6.0 Thank you for this fantastic tutorial and all your hard work!
@@-pcmr-108 There are a few ways for me to interpret your question. What I'll give you is what I experienced while trying to troubleshoot Delete not working for me... For windows machine build, I thought my delete wasn't working as well. I could not get the Delete button to show while trying to swipe with any gesture I could think up using a mouse. What I found was a two finger swipe on my trackpad worked. I had no problem using the mouse for delete in the android emulator. If that isnt a solution for you, I would grab a copy of James' mauiApp code from github and compare operations and code with yours. I hope that helps.
I get the same error. It works perfectly on Android emulator but crashes on Windows. CollectionView works fine without the SwipeView. They should show these demos working on all formats, not just the ones with no bugs. Or at least tell us which formats are broken.
Found the solution :) Name the ContentPage as x:Name="thisPage" and change the command to: Command="{Binding BindingContext.DeleteCommand, Source={x:Reference thisPage}}"
Hi there! Some one knows where I can learn the following sintax (Command="{Binding Source={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type viewmodel:MainViewModel}},Path=DeleteCommand}")?
I wish the presenter would please explain the difference between uppercase "Text" vs. lowercase "text" in thse videos. It gets very confusing. Way too many concepts thrown at me at one time.
The only thing I felt that this tutorial was missing was when you have a ItemSource of a ObservableCollection of a Model instead of a string, because I had this problem trying to bind a property but the property called GroupName wasn't in the ViewModel but in a Model separated, so when I tried to make a Label with a Text={Binding GroupName}, it couldn't find it until I did this: xmlns:Model="clr-namespace:Test.Models" xmlns:ViewModel="clr-namespace:Test.ViewModels" and inside the CollectionView, I did this:
So, instead of using x:Type x:String, I had to obtain the property GroupName from the Model AccountGroup and User from another Model called Account
Also now I noticed, that's the reason why James did in 8:11 the x:DataType, so he wouldn't have to do inside the Entry --> or something similar I think Now I wonder, it's possible to make multiple x:DataType inside a ?
It's a shame that you don't have many tutorial videos, both more in-depth and with an emphasis on building a UI interface for Windows, anyway by default the exe file created after running compilation, in the debug folder doesn't work, so manually you have to add settings in the file of the solution itself The project, which is really not clear to me, why did Microsoft do this in the first place, as opposed to all the types of projects that exist in Visual Studio related to C#? And another thing that I don't quite understand, why should it run as a Windows Machine and not in the usual way when the focus is on a Windows application, in terms of the part that running the program itself takes more time than just running another project to build a UI for Windows

It is working fine. how ever I would like the login procedure to load a bunch of data and in between the calls push status to the user on what data has loaded. I can not figure out how to do it.
My code does not run properly. the ui does not update. I use statehaschanged. please help.
i don't understand why we need to register dependency ??
How would you bind a command to a CheckBox? It has no Command property.
For a Checkbox you would be binding to the IsChecked property learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/user-interface/controls/checkbox?view=net-maui-7.0
i have done exactly the same but DeleteCommand is not working. i dont know why?
Same, why’s this
Every time I want to create a view model in WPF I have to write a lot of boilerplate code like this, which can be mostly avoided if I use something like React.js. Is there any improvement in MAUI to help us to avoid these coded?
Take a look at the mvvm toolkit which i used: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/communitytoolkit/mvvm/
When deleting any item from the list and adding a new one later, an unhandled exception is raised "Value does not fall within the expected range."
@agustinbcu I'm having the same issue, and pulling my hair out with frustration. No idea what's going on, an unhelpful error message, and no stack trace either. Did you ever figure out the issue?
@@theagemaway sadly no. I was evaluating the platform for new development, but I move in other direction. Probably when the platform becomes a real release, because now do looks a stable version to me.
the same error
(Like: Hein Lin Htun 5 days ago.... ->>>>>> SwipeView doesn't work on Windows App... For what reason???? Hope we get answers to our comments....
It works if you are on a touchscreen device. There are now context menus: devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/5-dotnet-maui-desktop-features/#context-menus
@@JamesMontemagnothanks, that was bugging me too!
Good tutorial but: after installing the app on my smartphone the entries disappear after a day or so, does someone know why?
Any new entries will be stored in RAM and will disappear when the program restarts.

Hi James, I feel lucky finding your videos on this subject.
Could you explain why in viewModel the defined string property "item" or "text" got capital case when you assign them??
Hi,
i hope i'm not wrong. I thing with the Attribute [ObservableProperty] there will be created an Property which have capital case.
@@94Chef I forgot about my comment, you are correct I found out when watched again
The casing of property, method, and class names in C# follows the Pascal casing convention. Similar to how in Java camelCase is used for method and property names
I can tell you. You remember before we replaced the code with the decorators?
([IObservableProperty], [ICommand])
IF you remember, the declaration of the "string text;" had getters and setters. It was something like:
private string text;
public string Text { get => text; set { Text = value; OnPropertyChanged(nameof(Text))}}
Well, that code is still there, you just don't see it because of the decorators. If that code was still there, would the "text" "Text" still confuse you? Also note the same thing happened with the
ObservableCollection items;
That list is referred to as Items elsewhere in the code for the same reason.
Items not accessible?
MAUI seems so messy and disorganised
Thanks for excellent videos!!
Why am I not able to see the Items on the Windows Machine Emulator in MVVM & XAML [5 of 8] .Net Maui. It's working fine on Android's Emulator. Appreciate your answer!
why can't be binding in the XAML?
This is why I really dislike .net maui/xamarin. Helpful videos get posted and they are great for a time I'm sure, but then someone changes the name of something, and makes it such a hassle to track down the fix, and then you end up in situations like this where even the corrected code doesn't work as there are multiple breaking points. And this is less than 2 months old.
For anyone else wondering, ICommand is now RelayCommand, and simply changing that will get you up to the swipe delete, which I still haven't figured out.
Excellent video. Thanks, I could not see any video showing maui on Iphone or deploying ios app. can you do one please.
It's hard for a beginner in software development. I reduced the playback speed of the video, I hope that I will understand this time.
Can I confirm ObservableCollection is depreciated ?
Hi not really sure anyone is reading this, there in NO ObseravbleCollection.
ObservableCollection has been around for many years: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collections.objectmodel.observablecollection-1?view=net-8.0
@@JamesMontemagno That does NOT answer his question. Has it been deprecated? It's a very simple question.
J'ai une erreur with vm ,???
Trying to troubleshoot a problem with Windows Machine build.... After entering items into MyList then deleting just one item, when I try to add another item I get a crash that I cannot trace... "Value does not fall within the expected range." Figuring this issue was my fault, I cloned/ran your app and had the same problem for a Windows Machine build.
I placed breakpoints in the Add() method and the app makes it though fine with appropriate action until stepping past the ending bracket of Add(), which sends me to exception handling in App.g.i.cs. Another observation... the app works as expected without crashing in the Android Simulator as well as directly on an iPhone (local iOS). I have not tried the app on MacOS yet.
I am on Windows11 with VS pre6.0
Thank you for this fantastic tutorial and all your hard work!
How did you get delete to work? I can't get the Delete Command to fire at all.
@@-pcmr-108 There are a few ways for me to interpret your question. What I'll give you is what I experienced while trying to troubleshoot Delete not working for me... For windows machine build, I thought my delete wasn't working as well. I could not get the Delete button to show while trying to swipe with any gesture I could think up using a mouse. What I found was a two finger swipe on my trackpad worked.
I had no problem using the mouse for delete in the android emulator.
If that isnt a solution for you, I would grab a copy of James' mauiApp code from github and compare operations and code with yours.
I hope that helps.
I get the same error. It works perfectly on Android emulator but crashes on Windows. CollectionView works fine without the SwipeView. They should show these demos working on all formats, not just the ones with no bugs. Or at least tell us which formats are broken.
Setting up data-binding is WILDLY unintuitive. You would never discover what to do if you didn't have access to this video or some other tutorial.
command does not trigger event. SOLUTION: Use instead and place a child label or other visual elements inside there. As a test, just use .
Not sure what's broken but neither SwipeItem's Command or SwipeItemsView's Command bindings are working for me
Non of the solutions are working for me eigher :(
Found the solution :) Name the ContentPage as x:Name="thisPage" and change the command to: Command="{Binding BindingContext.DeleteCommand, Source={x:Reference thisPage}}"
Try this. It finally worked for me with this. I kept having hard to find typos in the code until this one.
@@marctalcott5613 Thanks. This was the correct solution.
Hi there! Some one knows where I can learn the following sintax (Command="{Binding Source={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type viewmodel:MainViewModel}},Path=DeleteCommand}")?
Look for this vid: Learn .NET MAUI - Full Course for Beginners | Build cross-platform apps in C#
It's explained at 2:34:43
Checkout learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/fundamentals/data-binding/relative-bindings?view=net-maui-7.0
Good lord, .Net is such a mess. Good to see a simple topical video about it that's not 3 hours long though.
Community toolkit does not work
that background music is so annoying
Thank you
Maybe I’m wrong, but couldn’t you just have a static class, and just assign the variables to the class variables.
I wish the presenter would please explain the difference between uppercase "Text" vs. lowercase "text" in thse videos. It gets very confusing. Way too many concepts thrown at me at one time.
The only thing I felt that this tutorial was missing was when you have a ItemSource of a ObservableCollection of a Model instead of a string, because I had this problem trying to bind a property but the property called GroupName wasn't in the ViewModel but in a Model separated, so when I tried to make a Label with a Text={Binding GroupName}, it couldn't find it until I did this:
xmlns:Model="clr-namespace:Test.Models"
xmlns:ViewModel="clr-namespace:Test.ViewModels"
and inside the CollectionView, I did this:
So, instead of using x:Type x:String, I had to obtain the property GroupName from the Model AccountGroup and User from another Model called Account
Also now I noticed, that's the reason why James did in 8:11 the x:DataType, so he wouldn't have to do inside the Entry --> or something similar I think
Now I wonder, it's possible to make multiple x:DataType inside a ?
that's an awful lot of code to get a string from a to b.
Great tut, but that music is very annoying. Hard to focus.
There is not enough "why" in this video. There is only "How". By the end i had forgotten what i did in the beginning.
was following it, but then it became very complex and hard to understand real quick as a beginner :(
It's a shame that you don't have many tutorial videos, both more in-depth and with an emphasis on building a UI interface for Windows, anyway by default the exe file created after running compilation, in the debug folder doesn't work, so manually you have to add settings in the file of the solution itself The project, which is really not clear to me, why did Microsoft do this in the first place, as opposed to all the types of projects that exist in Visual Studio related to C#? And another thing that I don't quite understand, why should it run as a Windows Machine and not in the usual way when the focus is on a Windows application, in terms of the part that running the program itself takes more time than just running another project to build a UI for Windows
awesome editor, making use of his obnoxious hand movements (cwl)
I left a good Android Development job because of MVVM. Now it is in MAUI, too. 😒
