Unable to bind CollectionView to Dictionary<string, object>

[daltzctr]

The following CollectionView binding where Items is of type Dictionary<string, myobject> fails with an exception.

<CollectionView ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
   <datatemplatestuff/>
</CollectionView>

Exception:

Error: Cannot get 'Item' value (type 'Object') from type 'Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Platform.ItemTemplateContext'. BindingExpression: Path='Item' DataItem='Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Platform.ItemTemplateContext'; target element is 'Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Platform.ItemContentControl' (Name='ItemContentControl'); target property is 'FormsDataContext' (type 'Object').

I have no idea why this is the case (it previously worked in Xamarin) nor how to debug it.

For information, MAUI does not like binding to generics.

If this worked in Xamarin, report it as a bug in MAUI issues.

Hi @daltzctr Have you figured out a workaround for this issue? I ran into same issue and opened a ticket to Maui Team. #19208
