mvvmcross iOS绑定到列表无法将“ lambda表达式”转换为非委托类型“ string”

Question

I worked this out but I want to share because there doesn't seem to be an answer on SO or elsewhere.

My ViewModel has a list of models eg

private List<string> _people;
public List<string> People 
{
get { return this._people; }
    set { this._people = value; RaisePropertyChanged (() => People); }
}

When I try to bind to set.Bind the MvxStandardTableViewSource, the evil error above prevents compile:

var source = new MvxStandardTableViewSource(tableView, "People");
tableView.Source = source;
var set = this.CreateBindingSet<FirstView, Core.ViewModels.FirstViewModel>();
set.Bind(source).To(vm => vm.People);

The solution is to add a reference to your models library. Simple right? But not obvious because you don't have to do this for other mobile projects - Probably because iOS is doing compile time binding.

The solution is to add a reference to your models library.

Any type being bound in the iOS view has to have its assembly referenced by the iOS project..
