Question

I have the following code

<Mvx.MvxHttpImageView xmlns:local="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/TestServices.Droid"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
local:MvxBind="{'ImageUrl':{'Path':'ThumbNail'}}"

Where I am passing an image url to the ThumbNail property. The above code is part of an ItemTemplate which is being passed an ObservableCollection of TestModel objects as below.

public class TestModel
{
   public string ThumbNail
   {
     get; 
     set;
   }
   public string Name
   {
     get; 
     set;
   }   

   ....
}

The Name property is also bound in the above Template to a TextView and it shows up properly as do other string values. The only issue is that the Image does not show up.
I have tried setting the Image Url upfront in the constructor of the ViewModel and it works then. But when I add fetched values to the collection in the Completed event of my web service thats when the Image is not displayed. I have verified the path to the image url in the completed event and it is right. What could be going wrong here. Many thanks

Got it, I was using backslashes for creating the url by concatenating strings, changing them to forward slashes turned it into a proper link and its working fine now. Thanks a lot for the help Stuart
