Absolute collection binding

[sinsedrix]

Is there a way to bind a collection of items to an AbsoluteLayout ?

<AbsoluteLayout>
    <AbsoluteLayout.Children ItemsSource="{Binding Bunch}" />
    <!-- Template ? -->
</AbsoluteLayout>

I'd expect something like:

<AbsoluteLayout.ItemTemplate>
    <DataTemplate x:DataType="{x:Type vm:ItemVm}">
        <Button AbsoluteLayout.LayoutBounds="{Binding LayoutBounds}" />
    </DataTemplate>
</AbsoluteLayout.ItemTemplate>

CollectionView doesn't support an absolute item layout. Is there a way to implement one?

It doesn't seem to work:

A value of type BindableLayout can't be added to a collection or dictionary of type IList`1'

Ok, I found the right syntax and managed to make it work.
