Guidance for .NET MAUI XAML and C# data bindings — compiled bindings, INotifyPropertyChanged / ObservableObject, value converters, binding modes, multi-binding, relative bindings, fallbacks, and MVVM best practices. USE FOR: setting up compiled bindings with x:DataType, implementing INotifyPropertyChanged or CommunityToolkit ObservableObject, creating IValueConverter / IMultiValueConverter, choosing binding modes, configuring BindingContext, relative bindings, binding fallbacks, StringFormat…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# .NET MAUI Data Binding Wire UI controls to ViewModel properties with compile-time safety, correct change notification, and minimal overhead. Prefer compiled bindings everywhere and treat binding warnings as build errors. ## When to Use - Adding `x:DataType` compiled bindings to a new or existing page - Implementing `INotifyPropertyChanged` or CommunityToolkit `ObservableObject` - Creating or consuming `IValueConverter` / `IMultiValueConverter` - Choosing the correct `BindingMode` for a control property - Setting `BindingContext` in XAML or code-behind - Using relative bindings (`Self`, `AncestorType`, `TemplatedParent`) - Applying `StringFormat`, `FallbackValue`, or `TargetNullValue` - Writing AOT-safe code bindings with `SetBinding` and lambdas (.NET 9+) ## When Not to Use - **CollectionView layouts / templates** — use the `maui-collectionview` skill - **Shell navigation parameters** — use the `maui-shell-navigation` skill - **Service registration / DI** — use the `maui-dependency-injection` skill - **Property-change-triggered animations** — use built-in [.NET MAUI animation APIs](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/maui/user-interface/animation/basic) ## Inputs …

How to install
mdr add dotnet/skills/maui-data-binding@sha256:7fd85f91cf1e3b78The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.5812d5a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
