How to display a property or member of a custom object in .NET MAUI Picker (SfPicker)?

In the Syncfusion® .NET MAUI Picker control, you can display a property or member of a custom object by following the below demonstration.

XAML:

Initialize the SfPicker Control.

<picker:SfPicker x:Name="picker">
  <picker:SfPicker.HeaderView >
      <picker:PickerHeaderView Height="40" Text ="Select a sport"  />
  </picker:SfPicker.HeaderView>
</picker:SfPicker>

C#:

Declare properties to display the items in a model class as shown below.

public class CountryInfo
{
  public string Country { get; set; }
  public string Sport { get; set; }
}

C#:

To bind the item source in the picker, set the item source collection to the ItemsSource property of the PickerColumn class.
Create an Observable collection with the modal class properties. Use the DisplayMemberPath property in the PickerColumn class to display a specific property instead of the entire object as the following code illustrates.

ObservableCollection<countryinfo> countryDetails = new ObservableCollection<countryinfo>
{
  new CountryInfo { Sport = "Baseball", Country = "USA" },
  new CountryInfo { Sport = "Pato", Country = "Argentina" },
  new CountryInfo { Sport = "Golf", Country = "Scotland" },
  new CountryInfo { Sport = "Oil wrestling", Country = "Turkey" },
  new CountryInfo { Sport = "Skiing", Country = "Norway" },
  new CountryInfo { Sport = "Cricket", Country = "England" },
  new CountryInfo { Sport = "Football", Country = "France" },
  new CountryInfo { Sport = "Badminton", Country = "Indonesia" },
};
PickerColumn pickerColumn = new PickerColumn()
{
  DisplayMemberPath = "Sport",
  ItemsSource = countryDetails,
  SelectedIndex = 3,
};
this.picker.Columns.Add(pickerColumn);
