DevReach 2020

In case you missed it, I spoke this year at DevReach 2020. DevReach is Europe’s Premier Developer Conference that takes place every year in Sofia, Bulgaria. This year’s conference was online only, but was still a lot of fun.

In my session, I show you how to write GitHub Actions workflows for a full CI/CD experience that automatically builds and releases your Xamarin.Forms, Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS and UWP apps.

My session starts at 53:22 and I go until 1:36:12

There are many scenarios where a UI component might not have a Command or bindable property available for certain features that you need to access from the view model. There is a simple, but powerful, thing you can do to allow this and not break MVVM or testing capability, leverage the Interface.

Scenario

Let’s imagine the scenario where we have a special ListView control that has a HighlightItem method that can only be called with a direct reference to that control. There isn’t a Command or DependencyProperty (aka BindableProperty in Xamarin.Forms) alternative, so it has to be done in the code behind.
