Default BindableProperties and Automated Setter method for Two-Way Binding

[egvijayanand]

@brminnick If you recall, we discussed this a year ago #272.

At that time, I made changes to the Binding methods using Reflection.

Now, I've found a way to make it work without using Reflection.

This approach leverages C# Expressions that compile statically with no runtime overhead.

I'll modify the sample we used previously and update you on this.

This improvement could be a game changer, significantly enhancing developer productivity by providing the default setter method.

Have pushed the updated sample to GitHub. Kindly get the latest version.

Check and let me know your feedback.

Hey Vijay! Is the idea to add more default bindings to CommunityToolkit.Maui.Markup? Or for default bindings to use TypedBindings instead of string-based bindings? Or both?

Personally, I don't like using default bindings because it hides the bindable property. But I'm totally cool if you want to add them!

Could you open a New Feature Proposal? I'll bring it to our monthly standup on Thursday. And, if approved by the team, you'll be welcome to submit a PR for the code + unit tests in this repo and a PR in the docs repo.

Sure, will create a new feature proposal with the details.

This logic can also be applied to the existing methods, as many non-default bindable properties have support for two-way data binding.
