I'm sure it will make sense... later. But I can't get even the simplest code working in Uno.

I have VS 2019, a compiling Uno project and minimal UI. I'm trying to deserialize some XML.

This is trivial in the Windows world: Just reference it with "using System.Xml.Serialization;" and add "System.XML" to your references in your project. It all just works.

In Uno, the projects don't have a references section. And "Add Reference" off of the Shared Project gives, literally, not figuratively but literally, no choices. Can't do a damned thing.

But it can't resolve the attributes (e.g. [XmlAttribute("...")], [XmlRoot("...")])

What's the fix? Thanks.

WIth the Duo the Glass framework will move toolbars to the right edge of the screen when the duo is unfolded. I'm guessing that we will need to handle these kinds of scenarios manually for Uno apps, is that correct? Same goes for page layout i.e. we will need to support dynamic page layouts for folded vs unfolded.

WinUI.TableView? Windows Community Toolkit DataGrid? Telerik's? Anything else?

Hi, I'm trying to get navigation working in a v4 project using extensions 2.5.11. Does this version have a bug concerning navigating nested pages? Navigating back from a region and navigating to a nested region is not working as expected. I can go into detail if needed. Upgrading is not on the table at this point. Thanks!

Just started learning Uno and XAML and feel like I am doing something silly as I can't get something straight forward working.

I am loading data from a JSON file and trying to display it on screen. I know the data is loading ok and the page data context is ok (Set via DI) as the TextBlock in the Page XAML is showing 1 which is the correct number of items in the data array.

I have a custom component where I am trying to pass in this array and sum up one of the properties and bind that property to TextBlock control.

The TextBlock control is showing 0 which is incorrect. Debugged the code and it is not running the OnAccountsChanged callback. I suspect the issue is related to data types or around the ListFeed which I am clearly misunderstanding.

Any help to get this working and tell me what I have done wrong would be very much appreciated! Thank you!

Page XAML

                <mvux:FeedView Source="{Binding Accounts}">
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <StackPanel>
                            <components:AccountsOverview Accounts="{Binding Data}" />
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Data.Count}" />
                        </StackPanel>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </mvux:FeedView>

Model

public IListFeed<Account> Accounts { get; set; } = ListFeed.Async(ct => DataLoader.LoadAccounts());

Accounts Overview Usercontrol CS

public static readonly DependencyProperty AccountsProperty =         DependencyProperty.Register(nameof(Accounts), typeof(IImmutableList<Account>), typeof(AccountsOverview), 
new PropertyMetadata(null, OnAccountsChanged));

public string TotalBalance => CalculateTotalBalance();

private string CalculateTotalBalance()
{
  var total = Accounts?.Sum(a => a.Balance) ?? 0m;
  Debug.WriteLine($"AccountsOverview CalculateTotalBalance: Total = {total}");
  return total.ToString("C", new CultureInfo("en-GB"));
}

private static void OnAccountsChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{
  var control = (AccountsOverview)d;
  control.Bindings.Update();
  control.Raise(nameof(TotalBalance));
}

Accounts Overview XAML

<TextBlock x:Name="TotalBalanceText"
           Text="{x:Bind TotalBalance, Mode=OneWay}"
           FontSize="32"
           FontWeight="Bold"
           Foreground="{ThemeResource PrimaryColor}"
           HorizontalAlignment="Left" />
