Xamarin ControlTemplate set BindingContext

I've got a contentcontrol, so that I don't have to write duplicate code.
Now I want to display the contentcontrol twice on one page, but with different content. How can I set the Binding Context of the ContentControl, so that it displays firstItem.Title in the first ContentView, and secondItem.Title in the second ContentView?



Shortened Code, just to view what i mean:



    <ControlTemplate x:Name="ContainerControl">
<StackLayout>
<Label Text="{Binding Title}" />
</StackLayout>
</ControlTemplate>

<!-- Display the first item -->
<ContentView Item="{Binding firstItem}" ControlTemplate="{StaticResource ContainerControl" />

<!-- Display the second item -->
<ContentView Item="{Binding secondItem}" ControlTemplate="{StaticResource ContainerControl" />


Item Class / ViewModel Properties:



public class Item
{
public string Title { get; set; }
}

public Item firstItem
{
get;
set;
}

public Item secondItem
{
get;
set;
}

  • Sounds like you should use a ListView.

  • I can't use that, as both contentviews are in the same spot, and are dynamically set to visible / invisible
