Open juwens opened 1 year ago
Just to understand a bit better... What is it you're missing right now? What triggered you to open this proposal? There is the XAML binding diagnostics and output window that should work and it you enable compiled bindings your should even get build time errors.
What are scenarios that you are still missing and running into that is not captured by these tools and/or why do these tools not work for you?
Thanks!
Hi @juwens. We have added the "s/needs-info" label to this issue, which indicates that we have an open question for you before we can take further action.

What is it you're missing right now?
the debugging abilities PresentationTraceSources.TraceLevel provides.
What triggered you to open this proposal?
Everyday work with maui (and previously xamarin).
here is the [XAML binding diagnostics](https://learn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/xaml-tools/xaml-data-binding-diagnostics?view=vs-2022) and output window that should work and it you enable [compiled bindings](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/maui/fundamentals/data-binding/compiled-bindings) your should even get build time errors.
That does something different, or (if you will) only a quite small fraction of it. I'm pretty sure you would see that, if you used it, of looked into MSFTs docs or into the blogpost i've linked.
I think, me (as a mere dev), could not explain it any better than MSFTs own existing documentation.
Further, i'm pretty sure that you, as a skilled senior UI-framework developer at MSFT, have a very deep understanding and expertise of their previous most popular UI frameworks.
I would also like to see this implemented. I am trying to resolve a binding issue. There are no errors in the binding errors window. I have enabled compiled bindings and set the data type. Still no errors. My only hope now is to use a DebugDummyConverter as detailed at https://wpf-tutorial.com/data-binding/debugging/. Surely we shouldn't have to go to these lengths.
Description
Support better debugging of binding issues. A feature which WPF developers used and relied on since 2010. I was missing in Xamarin and is still missing in maui.

Public API Changes
add Type PresentationTraceSources
Intended Use-Case
Being more productive as a developer.
