This sample shows how to use x:Bind for data binding in XAML apps. x:Bind is a new compile time binding mechanism for XAML in windows 10, which is faster and provides more developer feedback in the form of compile errors and generated code that can be inspected.
Specifically, this sample shows how to:
- Use x:Bind: It includes a wide range of bindings that cover most usage patterns.
- Use x:Bind in Data Templates: Data Templates need to have the model type that will be used in the bindings specified on the template definition using the x;DataType attribute
- Use x:Bind with x:Phase: x:Phase can be used with x:Bind for list scenarios to enable incremental binding and rendering of data templates to improve the panning experience on low end devices.
- Use x:Bind to bind event handlers: x:Bind can be used in markup to specify event handlers as part of the data model, rather than requiring them to be in the code behind.
