Binding to Lists of Lists in XAML

[Liam Keogh]

If I have a list of lists object, let's call it MovieCatalogue, and in that list of lists I have a collection of lists that contain Movies that relate to the same genre. 

I want to be able to set the ItemSource of the Rotator to the MovieCatalogue object and then have each page show a ListView of all movies contained within the lists of the object. For example, page one of the rotator would show me all entries of the HorrorList, page two would show all entries of ComedyList and so on.. 

As a bonus, each entry would need to be bound to the title of the movie that is stored in the list. Attached is my current implementation, but it returns an invalid cast exception.

Hi Liam, 

 

Greetings from Syncfusion.  

 

We have validated your query and your code snippet, to resolve the reported issue you have to add the ViewCell before the label in listview as like below code snippet. 

 

<rotator:SfRotator  x:Name="ImageRotator"  ItemsSource="{Binding ImageCollection}" DotsBorderColor="Red"   HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" 
            VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
            <rotator:SfRotator.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                 <ListView  ItemsSource="{Binding ImageList}">
                    <ListView.ItemTemplate>
                                <DataTemplate>
                               <ViewCell>
                                    <Label Text ="{Binding Title}"/>
                                 </ViewCell>
                                </DataTemplate>
                            </ListView.ItemTemplate>
                    </ListView>
                </DataTemplate>
            </rotator:SfRotator.ItemTemplate>
        </rotator:SfRotator>
