ImageButton FontImageSource.Glyph and FontImageSource.Color binding in csharp

Question

Hi

I have an ImageButton and I set a static source:

            iconCancellaOModificaQuantitaOBarcode.Source = new FontImageSource
            {
                Glyph = Library.IconaCancella,
                FontFamily = "ionicons",
                Color = Color.Red,
                Size = ICON_SIZE
            };

I would like to have Glyph and Color's FontImageSource binding, but I see only ImageButton.SourceProperty.
It seems that is possible in xaml:

      <ToolbarItem.IconImageSource>

            <FontImageSource
                    Glyph="{Binding SaveIconFont}"
                    FontFamily="{StaticResource FontAwesomeFreeSolid}"
                    Size="Large"> 
            </FontImageSource>

        </ToolbarItem.IconImageSource>

Is not possible to bind Glyph and Color in csharp without bind all the "Source"?

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

To set data binding in csharp, try using the BindableObjectExtensions.SetBinding method.

Check the code:

   var iconSource = new FontImageSource  
   {  
       Size = ICON_SIZE,  
       FontFamily = "ionicons  
   };  
   iconSource.SetBinding(FontImageSource.GlyphProperty, "name");  
   iconSource.SetBinding(FontImageSource.ColorProperty, "name");  
     
   var imageButton = new ImageButton { Source = iconSource };

            this.imagebutton.Source = new FontImageSource() { FontFamily = "ionicons" };  
            this.imagebutton.Source.SetBinding(FontImageSource.GlyphProperty, "Glyph");  
            this.imagebutton.Source.SetBinding(FontImageSource.ColorProperty, "Color");  

this works!
