Xamarin.Forms – Implementing ItemsSource for Custom Control

Here’s some code for ItemsSource:

        public static readonly BindableProperty ItemsSourceProperty = BindableProperty.Create(
           nameof(ItemsSource),
           typeof(IEnumerable),
           typeof(MyControl),
           null,
           BindingMode.OneWay,
           propertyChanged: (bindable, oldValue, newValue) => OnItemsSourceChanged(bindable, oldValue, newValue));

        static void OnItemsSourceChanged(BindableObject bindable, object oldValue, object newValue)
        {
            void newValueINotifyCollectionChanged_CollectionChanged(object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
            {
                var wraplayout = bindable as WrapLayout;

                if (e.OldItems != null)
                    foreach (var item in e.OldItems)
                        wraplayout.Children.Remove(item as View);

                if (e.NewItems != null)
                    foreach (var item in e.NewItems)
                        wraplayout.Children.Add(item as View);
            }

            var oldValueINotifyCollectionChanged = oldValue as INotifyCollectionChanged;

            if (null != oldValueINotifyCollectionChanged)
            {
                oldValueINotifyCollectionChanged.CollectionChanged -= newValueINotifyCollectionChanged_CollectionChanged;
            }

            var newValueINotifyCollectionChanged = newValue as INotifyCollectionChanged;

            if (null != newValueINotifyCollectionChanged)
            {
                newValueINotifyCollectionChanged.CollectionChanged += newValueINotifyCollectionChanged_CollectionChanged;
            }
        }
        
        public IEnumerable ItemsSource
        {
            get { return (IEnumerable)GetValue(ItemsSourceProperty); }
            set { SetValue(ItemsSourceProperty, value); }
        }
