How to add nodes to bound mode TreeView in Xamarin.Forms (SfTreeView)

You can add nodes at runtime to bound mode SfTreeView  in Xamarin.Forms by updating the bound collection from ViewModel.

C#

ViewModel bound collection updated in OnAddItem handler.

public class FileManagerViewModel
{
    public Command OnAddItem { get; set; }
 
    public FileManagerViewModel()
    {
        GenerateSource();
        OnAddItem = new Command(OnAddItemMethod);
    }
    private void OnAddItemMethod(object obj)
    {
        Assembly assembly = typeof(MainPage).GetTypeInfo().Assembly;
        var game = new FileManager() { ItemName = "Game", ImageIcon = ImageSource.FromResource("TreeViewXamarin.Icons.treeview_folder.png", assembly) };
        var games = new FileManager() { ItemName = "Pubg.exe", ImageIcon = ImageSource.FromResource("TreeViewXamarin.Icons.treeview_exe.png", assembly) };
        game.SubFiles = new ObservableCollection<FileManager>
        {
            games
        };
        ImageNodeInfo.Add(game);
    }
}
