Summary

In this chapter, we delved into the core components that enable the MVVM pattern in .NET MAUI. We discussed the essential building blocks, including BindableObject, BindableProperty, and BindingContext, and how they facilitate seamless communication between the View and ViewModel. Furthermore, we examined the importance of the INotifyPropertyChanged interface in notifying the UI of changes in ViewModel properties and demonstrated how the ICommand interface helps handle user interactions in a decoupled manner. By understanding these fundamental concepts, it becomes evident why .NET MAUI and the MVVM pattern are such a harmonious match.

As we move on to Chapter 4, Data Binding in .NET MAUI, we will take a closer look at data binding, diving deeper into topics such as value converters, fallback values, element and relative binding, multi-bindings, and compiled bindings. This will enable you to leverage the full power of data binding. Let’s continue our journey!
