MvvmLight bindings in code?

Question

Is it possible to do the mvvm-light bindings in code in xamarin forms?

I want to do this to be typesafe. If so, is it possible to show me an example?

Answer 1

I've set the binding like this:

button.SetBinding (Button.CommandParameterProperty, "ButtonCommand");

Where the "ButtonCommand" is defined like this in my ViewModel:

public RelayCommand buttonCommand;

public RelayCommand ButtonCommand {
    get {
        ....
    }
}

Answer 2

For a typesafe solution:

In your page:

MyButton.SetBinding<FooViewModel>(ActivityIndicator.IsRunningProperty, model => model.IsBusy);

In your FooViewModel

    bool _isBusy;
    public bool IsBusy
    {
        get { return _isBusy; }
        set
        {
            Set(ref _isBusy, value);
            LoginCommand.RaiseCanExecuteChanged();
        }
    }
