Replacement for x:Bind Working for UWP in UNO Platform but not WASM, Droid, etc

I am currently trying out Uno Platform with Prism, to see if it's worth migrating a project of mine from WPF to UWP and Uno. I've built this application with the Prism Template.

I've currently run into an issue where I usually assign a region to a ContentControl, by calling the region name by a static that is stored within a class of static region names.

My WPF XAML code, from Shell.xaml:

<ContentControl Grid.Row="0" 
                VerticalAlignment="Bottom" 
                HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" 
                Margin="0,0,0,11" 
                prismRegions:RegionManager.RegionName="{x:Static blankCore:RegionNames.ContentHeaderRegion}"/>

However, this does not work, due to x:Static not existing in UWP (Unknown type 'Static' in XML namespace). Therefore, after looking at some documentation on UWP, I have used x:Bind and now the code looks like this:

<ContentControl Grid.Row="0" 
                VerticalAlignment="Bottom" 
                HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" 
                Margin="0,0,0,11" 
                prismRegions:RegionManager.RegionName="{x:Bind blankCore:RegionNames.ContentHeaderRegion}"/>

This is compiling and running for UWP, but upon switching to WASM or Android, I get various errors in a generated file:

c32.SetBinding(global::Prism.Regions.RegionManager.RegionNameProperty, new Windows.UI.Xaml.Data.Binding{ Mode = BindingMode.OneTime }.Apply(___b =>  /*defaultBindModeOneTime*/ global::Uno.UI.Xaml.BindingHelper.SetBindingXBindProvider(___b, this, ___ctx => ___ctx is global::BlankApp1.Shared.Views.Shell ___tctx ? (object)(___tctx.global::BlankApp1.Core.RegionNames.AuthenticateRegion) : null, null )));

The error is as follows: enter image description here

My current static class of RegionNames is as follows:

namespace BlankApp1.Core
{
    public class RegionNames
    {
        public static string ContentHeaderRegion = "ContentHeaderRegion";

        /// ...
    }
}

Is going with 'x:Bind' the correct way about this and is there a fix for this? Or should I be doing something else?

Solution

  • This was resolved by updating the Uno.UI library to 3.5.x or above. I was on 3.0.x
