How to bind the data from code inside XAML - xaml

Question

I have this class:
public partial class Calendar : ContentPage, INotifyPropertyChanged
{
public ICommand EventSelectedCommand => new Command(async (item) => await ExecuteEventSelectedCommand(item));
public ICommand DayTappedCommand => new Command<DateTime>(async (date) => await DayTapped(date));
public EventCollection Events { get; set; }
private void SetCalendar()
{
Events = new EventCollection
{
[DateTime.Now] = new List<EventModel>
{
new EventModel { Name = "Herrenabend, 10:00 - 12:00 – 5000 Scanns", ID = 100},
};
}
and I wanna do bind the data to my calendar.
I tried this:
<Grid Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1">
<controls:Calendar
x:Name="calender"
DayTappedCommand="{Binding DayTappedCommand}"
Events="{Binding Q2go.MainMenu_Partners.Calendar.Events}">
<controls:Calendar.EventTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<StackLayout>
<Label
Text="{Binding Name}"
FontAttributes="Bold"
FontSize="Medium" >
<Label.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer
Tapped="ClickOnLabel"
/>
</Label.GestureRecognizers>
</Label>
<Label
Grid.Row="1"
Text="{Binding ID}"
FontSize="8" >
<Label.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer
Tapped="ClickOnLabel"
/>
</Label.GestureRecognizers>
</Label>
<StackLayout.GestureRecognizers>
<TapGestureRecognizer
Command="{Binding BindingContext.EventSelectedCommand, Source={x:Reference test}}"
CommandParameter="{Binding .}" />
</StackLayout.GestureRecognizers>
</StackLayout>
</DataTemplate>
</controls:Calendar.EventTemplate>
</controls:Calendar>
</Grid>
But the data isn't given into the calendar and non of the events fire.
Where is the missing link here?
I thought by: Events="{Binding Q2go.MainMenu_Partners.Calendar.Events}">
I am doing everything correctly. but nothing is displayed. Why is that?
I know that if I just give the data to the calendar inside code (calender.events = events) it works just fine (still no event handlers) but i want it to bind the data from code. So without this line (calender.events = events).
I read in every sample that this should work, but it doesn't for me. So where is the issue?

Answer 1

if your page's BindingContext is set to this then you should just use Events="{Binding Events}" as the Binding expression
