DataTemplate Selectors in Collection views

[roughiain]

Looking at the hacker news sample and was looking how to implement a DataTemplateSelector and could not see any obvious ways do it. Normal XAML you would have the template selector as a Resource in the page then use {StaticResource x:Key} to bind it. I could be missing something very obvious. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hi @roughiain!

Are you looking for help creating a DataTemplateSelector using C# Markup? Here's an example of how to do it from my app, GitTrends: https://github.com/brminnick/GitTrends/blob/main/GitTrends/Views/Repository/RepositoryDataTemplateSelector.cs

Or are you asking how to add a DataTemplateSelector to a CollectionView using the C# Markup Extensions? You do it the same way you would do it for a DataTemplate:

new CollectionView()
  .ItemTemplate(new MyDataTemplateSelector());

Thanks @brminnick was missing the obvious
