OH MY GOODNESS!!! Visual Studio 2019 version 16.9 introduced one of the most amazing features ever... Auto code generation directly from your XAML! Turn your Bindings and Commands directly into source code in your code behind or view model! Today I will show you this awesome new feature!

If you are using Xamarin.Forms you can set the x:DataType or the BindingContext. If you are using WPF/UWP set the DataContext or d:DataContext. Read more: https://montemagno.com/code-generatio...
