✅ bind prop or field to Entry in MAUI

Hey how do I directly bind a prop or field to an Entry or Label in MAUI? The docs aren’t clear

.NET MAUI data binding links a pair of properties between two objects, at least one of which is usually a user-interface object. These two objects are called the target and the source.

I can't find an example of where it binds to a field, only binds to another component/control value

Your problem is that you are thinking there's a difference

333fred•12/4/22, 4:48 PM

There isn't

so if you know how to can you share a snippet of an control having it's value bound to a field?

It's literally exactly the same as any other binding

333fred•12/4/22, 4:50 PM

But no, I'm on my phone right now

333fred•12/4/22, 4:50 PM

You set the binding context, and bind to the field you want

TigerOP•12/4/22, 4:53 PM

so how do I have thisthis as a binding context? it's not shown @Orannis

333fred•12/4/22, 4:56 PM

That's the default

333fred•12/4/22, 4:57 PM

The reason why the very first example works is because that's the default

333fred•12/4/22, 4:57 PM

If you ever need to explicitly say this, you use

as the path

3333fred If you ever need to explicitly say this, you use `.` as the path
