Yes MvvmCross supports binding properties to controls created at runtime. You can watch this tutorial by the awesome Mr. Stuart in his N+1 series. [this video] Note: He has shown this many a times in the series but I remember this one on the top of my head right now.

As Stuart said in his comment, N=32 - ViewModels and MvxView on the iPad - N+1 days of MvvmCross [LINK] is the MVVMCross tutorial you want. For those that are happy with the idea of ViewModels being more than just a ViewModel per screen and understand Binding the bit around Custom Views starts at minute 20 [this video]

As previously detailed in some MvvmCross videos ( [this video] ) I am trying to remove strong references from my viewmodel to my views. Having implemented WeakSubscribe() where PropertyChanged += has been used I have now come across some scenarios where I am using Action to allow the view to observe. I assume this will lead to potential memory leaks again, so attempting to erradicate. However - WeakReference works on the basis of hooking to an INotifyPropertyChanged source: [LINK] So should I be refactoring my code to ditch Action and to be firing via PropertyChanged to be able to inform the view via a weak reference? Here is some sample code just for reference - of the current strongly reference

I'm writing a cross-platform app for iOS and Android using MvvmCross. The Android version makes use of nested Fragments. For example, the home view is a navigation drawer, its various navigation hub views are Fragments which may be split views containing other fragments, and on top of that, each view may show a dialog fragment as well. Additionally, not all ViewModels are shown via ShowViewModel(), some of them are used more like PropertyChanged event providers as demonstrated in the N=32 video [this video] . This is working fine until a configuration change takes place (typically, rotating the device). When the fragment views get recreated, their View Models aren't and are set to null. This is h

I have a problem with implementing following scenario using Xamarin.iOS and MvvmCross (6.2.3.0). I have a view and in it's viewmodel I have a property which is a list of objects. I need to dynamically generate a label and a textfield for each of this list entry on my view. So I decided to implement a custom view for this. Here is what I tried so far: In my viewcontroller, in CreateView I simply add my custom UIView. I can see it's content on my view. In ViewDidLoad() I create bindings: private void CreateBindings() { var set = this.CreateBindingSet<MyController, MyViewModel>(); set.Bind(myCustomControl).For(x => x.DataContext).To(vm => vm.MyListOfObjects); set.Apply(); } MyCustomControl code
