Why does my IsVisible Binding Not Work with a StackLayout ? Xamarin iOS-CodePudding

I have the below XAML structure using a collection view which is using a list called 'users' as its ItemSource. I have a bound property which controls if the items are visible or not :

 <StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
 <Frame IsVisible="{Binding isVisible}" HasShadow="True" BackgroundColor="White" Padding="0">

The issue is that unless I remove the StackLayout around the Frame then the IsVisible binding doesn't work. Does anyone know why the binding works without the StackLayout, but not with ?

<CollectionView Grid.Row="1" x:Name="users" IsGrouped="True" SelectionMode="Single">
            <CollectionView.GroupHeaderTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal" MinimumHeightRequest="200" BackgroundColor="{Binding tint_colour}">
                        <Image Source="{Binding school_image}" WidthRequest="120" HeightRequest="100"/>
                        <Label Text="{Binding organisation_title}"                      
                                    TextColor="{Binding font_colour}"
                                    FontSize="Large"
                                    FontAttributes="Bold"
                                    VerticalTextAlignment="Center"></Label>
                        <StackLayout.GestureRecognizers>
                            <TapGestureRecognizer Tapped="HeaderTapped" CommandParameter="{Binding organisation_title}"></TapGestureRecognizer>
                        </StackLayout.GestureRecognizers>

CodePudding user response：

I did a test about it and it works fine, here are xaml and codebehind:

xmal:

<StackLayout>
        <CollectionView x:Name="mycol">
            <CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <StackLayout >
                        <Frame BackgroundColor="Red" IsVisible="{Binding isvisible}">
                         <Label Text="{Binding Name}"/>
                            </Frame>
                     </StackLayout>
                </DataTemplate>
            </CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
        </CollectionView>
    </StackLayout>

codebehind:

public partial class CollectionTest : ContentPage
{
    ObservableCollection<People> peoples = new ObservableCollection<People> {
    new People{ Name="Adam",isvisible=true},
    new People{ Name="Bob",isvisible=true},
    new People {Name="Adam2",isvisible=false },
    new People{ Name="Bob2",isvisible=true} };
    public CollectionTest()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        mycol.ItemsSource = peoples;
    }

result:

You could check the value of isvisible or check if the bind is set correctly.
