Auto ICommands

[slodge]

The binding layer could automatically allow command/action binding to:

  public void DoSomething()
  {
      // code
  }

  public void DoSelect(MyListItem selected)
  {
      // code
  }

It could automatically create an ICommand wrapper for these methods, allowing binding like:

  local:mvxBind="Click DoSomething"

or

  local:mvxBind="ItemsSource Items; ItemClick DoSelect"

What rules would apply for the DoSelect scenario? How would the runtime know what value it should pass as selected?

[slodge]

This is normally determined by the view or by the binding itself.

eg see https://github.com/slodge/MvvmCross/blob/v3/Cirrious/Cirrious.MvvmCross.Binding.Droid/Views/MvxListView.cs#L102

There is an option to add a fixed command parameter - there's a blog post on this (sorry - on mobile so too hard to find link right now)
