how to refresh UI after changing a control property in.net MAUI

Jerome Mx 21

I'm migrating a xamarin project to .net MAUI and having trouble finding out how to get label to display thenew value when i set its text property!? in xamarin simply setting the property like so: selectedStaffMember.Text = staffName; would cause the label on screen to display the new value, but so far I've been unable to make this work in my .net maui project (despite losing a fair bit of time on it!)

how do I simply get the label display its text property!??

in a button click handler I do attempt to update a label with this code:
var staffName = e.SelectedItem.ToString();
selectedStaffMember.Text = staffName; // the labels text property updates normally in the debugger but not on screen.

You can create a new MAUI. Please move this part code to make a test. Will you get the same result.

If No, this issue is related the migration. You can try to Manually upgrade a Xamarin.Forms app to a single project .NET MAUI app

Ok, after migrating manually, is that working?
