How to get the bindable data from View MAUI

Question

I have a code snippet below where I dynamically add data to StackLayout. For Xamarin Forms using BindingContext, I could access the data bound to the view. But this is not possible in.net MAUI. Is there any documentation for the same?

public class MyData {     
	
	public string Name { get; set; }     
	public int Age { get; set; } 

}
StackLayout _content = new StackLayout { HeightRequest = 0, HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.FillAndExpand, IsVisible = false };

foreach (var child in _content.Children)

{   
   if (child.BindingContext is MyData data){

           string name = data.Name;

           int age = data.Age;

   }
}

Hello,

Is there any documentation for the same?

You can still use BindingContext , before you use it, please set specific type of the child property to the Microsoft.Maui.Controls.View, then you can use child.BindingContext.

foreach (Microsoft.Maui.Controls.View child in _content.Children)
{
     if (child.BindingContext is MyData data)
     {
 
         string name = data.Name;
 
         int age = data.Age;
 
     }
}
