In Xamarin.Forms
, in PCL, I have custom control, with custom event:
public class TestGrid : Grid
{
public EventHandler OnTapped;
public TestGrid()
{
var tgr = new TapGestureRecognizer { NumberOfTapsRequired = 1 };
tgr.Tapped += Tgr_Tapped;
this.GestureRecognizers.Add(tgr);
}
private void Tgr_Tapped(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
OnTapped?.Invoke(sender, e);
}
}
in my StartPage I have:
public partial class StartPage : ContentPage
{
public StartPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
BindingContext = new StartPageViewModel();
MainGrid.OnTapped += OnGridTapped;
}
private void OnGridTapped(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Debug.WriteLine("Tapped!");
}
}
My XAML looks like that, and it works:
<v:TestGrid x:Name="MainGrid" />
BUT!
when I remove MainGrid.OnTapped += OnGridTapped;
and add event in xaml, here:
<v:TestGrid x:Name="MainGrid" OnTapped="OnGridTapped">
I doens't work. It says.. OnTapped event not found:
Unhandled Exception:
Xamarin.Forms.Xaml.XamlParseException: Position 6:33. No Property of name OnTapped found
My question is: Why? What's the difference?
