Two way data Binding for SfAutocomplete in multiple selection mode.

[Shalini]

I have created a autocomplete Box with multiple selection mode.

var autocompletelabel = new Label

                        {

                            Text = el.LabelText,

                            Margin = new Thickness(0, 5, 10, 0),

                            TextColor = Color.Black,

                            FontSize = 16,

                            HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.Fill,

                            VerticalOptions=LayoutOptions.StartAndExpand

                        };

                        SfAutoComplete autocomplete = new SfAutoComplete {

                            WidthRequest=200

                        };

                        

                        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(el.Config))

                        {

                            var config = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(el.Config);

                            if (config.width != 0)

                                autocomplete.WidthRequest = config.width;

                    

                            if(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(config.Context))

                                    autocomplete.DataSource=getlist(config.Context);

                            if(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(config.MultipleSelect))

                            {

                                if(config.MultipleSelect=="1")

                                {

                                    autocomplete.MultiSelectMode = MultiSelectMode.Delimiter;

                                    autocomplete.Delimiter = ",";

                                }

                                else

                                {

                                }

                            }

                            

                        }

                        

                       autocomplete.DisplayMemberPath = "Label";

                        autocomplete.SelectedValuePath = "Value";

                        autocomplete.SuggestionMode = SuggestionMode.Contains;

                        autocomplete.SuggestionBoxPlacement = SuggestionBoxPlacement.Bottom;

                        autocomplete.ShowSuggestionsOnFocus = true;

                        autocomplete.NoResultsFoundText = "No Results Found";

                        autocomplete.DropDownItemHeight = 45;

                        autocomplete.SetBinding(SfAutoComplete.SelectedItemProperty, string.Format("[{0}]", el.Prop), BindingMode.TwoWay);

Here I am trying the two way Data Binding using SelectedItemProperty. of autocomplete box My SelectedItem is like [{Label="",Value=""},{Label="",Value=""}] this.

Here I have used Dictionary for DataBinding and el.Prop is the key of the Dictionary and it contans the object of [{Label="",Value=""},{Label="",Value=""}] .For the single selection autocomplete this way of Binding is working fine.But for the multiple selection the Binding is not working for object to control and when i am selecting from control the object is getting binded.

Which proerty should i use while using SetBinding(SfAutocomplete.???,"Prop",BindingMode.TwoWay).Can anyone help me how to do this.
