Xamarin.forms: [Bug] IndicatorView - ItemsSourceBy not showing up in Intellisense

[Mikilll94]

Description

For IndicatorView control, the ItemsSourceBy property is not shown up by Intellisense

Also, XAML Hot Reload does not work with IndicatorView. When you change something in XAML, the IndicatorView is disappearing because probably XAML Hot Reload thinks that ItemsSourceBy property does not exist.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Try to create IndicatorView.
2. Try to add ItemsSourceBy property to the IndicatorView
3. As you can see the Intellisense is not working for this property.

Expected Behavior

Intellisense should show ItemsSourceBy property for IndicatorView. And XAML Hot Reload should also work for this property.

Actual Behavior

Intellisense does not show ItemsSourceBy property for IndicatorView and XAML Hot Reload is not working with this property.

Basic Information

• Version with issue: 4.4.0.991265
• IDE: Visual Studio 2019 16.4.2
• Platform Target Frameworks:
  
  
  
  • Android: 9.0 (Pie)

You have to use IndicatorView.ItemsSourceBy

@VladislavAntonyuk
Thanks, it works.

But the docs are showing something different.

So, how does it really work? I can't make it work in any way possible. Do you care to show how you bind the ItemsSourceBy to the CarouselView's name?

@nosmirck See this small gist, which works for me:

We have moved this API, now you will use the CarouselView IndicatorView property to link both controls.
