Why no Binding? #2

Open paulpatarinski opened 9 years ago

Hey George,

I am trying to put together a nice modern Employee Directory example and I finally got around to using the FastCell. Man have you solved one of the biggest issues with Xam Forms...GREAT JOB.

In the readme you mention you don't use DataBinding

"We don't use bindings in our cells, we instead opt to set the data values by hand, when the binding context changes."

Is there any specific reason for that? I was able to implement it using binding and see no change in performance.

Maybe if not required

protected abstract void SetupCell (bool isRecycled);

can be changed to virtual?

Cheers.
