Databinding to Grid dimensions?

[King-Taz]

Beginner here, looking for databinding examples for RowDefinition and ColumnDefinition. The Maui docs say these are of type Collection and are a List of objects. While I can accomplish this task using callbacks and code behind, I like using MVVM (thanks CommunityToolkit!) and want to learn more and can bind to int, strings, etc. I have no idea how to bind to grid objects though. The simple binding

                <RowDefinition Height="{Binding RowHeight0}" />
                <RowDefinition Height="{Binding RowHeight1}" />

obviously didn't work for variables typed as double, string, etc. Any links or advice appreciated!

Height is of type GridLength, you can't bind to properties of other types.. I think it is not a good idea to bind and change it. Use Gridlength.Auto and configure the hight of the contained view.

It depends on what you're trying to do I suppose, if it's a good/bad idea. I'm not sure what is meant by "you can't bind to other properties" because Maui docs seem to state that all grid properties are bindable. It would be easier codewise if I could learn how...lol!

[JoeVoo]

can't bind to properties of other types means, you have to bind to a property of type gridlength and not to int or string. Beginner and unteachable is not the best combination. lol

vague and arrogant is not a good combination. lol

@King-Taz The Height of RowDefinition is of type GridLength know more

so you have to define your properties the same way

public GridLength RowHeight0{get; set;}
public GridLength RowHeight1{get; set;}

while assigning values you can try something like

RowHeight0 = new GridLength(50); 
RowHeight1 = new GridLength(1,GridUnitType.Star);
