monotouch - MvvmCross - How to bind UIView.Layer.AnyProperty (Xamarin.iOS) to a property on a viewmodel? -

i have property on view model called bordercolor of type string, , seek bind uiview.layer.bordercolor, here's binding sytax:

set.bind (this.myuiview).for ("layer.bordercolor").to (t => t.bordercolor).withconversion (new stringtocolorconverter { tocgcolor = true });

it doesnt work, however, if bind backgroundcolor property straight on uiview, works charm. knows if binding layer property supported mvvmcross?

i tried different variations of target path, "layer.bordercolor", , typed t=>layer.bordercolor, no luck.

from description of fluent binding syntax @ https://github.com/mvvmcross/mvvmcross/wiki/databinding#fluent

the fluent syntax provides c# way create bindings.

this syntax done using createbindingset helper.

the syntax includes:

bind($viewobject$)

where $viewobject$ view target binding.

for(v => v.$viewproperty$)

where $viewproperty$ property on view binding.

so ... seek using:

set.bind (this.myuiview.layer).for ("bordercolor")...

this should work long no-one changes layer - if need more complicated binding that, you'd need create custom binding (see examples in n+1 series).
