Hi,

i try to bind a Base64 (ImageResourceStream) to an image in XAML but end up everytime in an unhandled exception.

This is my code:

ViewModel:

        private ObservableCollection<WebImageSource> _imageSources;
        public ObservableCollection<WebImageSource> ImageSources
        {
            get
            {
                return _imageSources;
            }
            set
            {
                if (_imageSources != value)
                {
                    _imageSources = value;
                    OnPropertyChanged(nameof(ImageSources));
                }
            }
        }

        public GalleryViewModel()
        {
            Title = "Galery";

            _testService = new TestService();
            ImageSources = new ObservableCollection<WebImageSource>();

            this.OnOpenView += async (o, e) =>
            {
                ImageSources = new ObservableCollection<WebImageSource>((await _testService.Get()));
            };
        }

WebImageSource just contains a property named Base64 and some meta data.

This is my View:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             x:Class="MyApp.Views.GalleryPage"
             xmlns:c="clr-namespace:MyApp.Converters"
             Title="{Binding Title}" >
    <ContentPage.Resources>
        <ResourceDictionary>
            <c:Base64ImageSourceConverter x:Key="ImageConverter" />
        </ResourceDictionary>
    </ContentPage.Resources>
    <StackLayout>
        <ListView ItemsSource="{Binding ImageSources}">
            <ListView.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <ViewCell>
                        <Image Source="{Binding Base64, Converter={StaticResource ImageConverter}}}"  Grid.Row="0" 
                        Grid.RowSpan="3" Grid.Column="0" 
                        HorizontalOptions="Center" HeightRequest="50" 
                        VerticalOptions="Center">
                        </Image>
                    </ViewCell>
                </DataTemplate>
            </ListView.ItemTemplate>
        </ListView>
    </StackLayout>
</ContentPage>

At least the converter:

public class Base64ImageSourceConverter : IValueConverter
    {
        public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
        {
            var base64 = (string)value;

            if (base64 == null)
                return null;

            return ImageSource.FromStream(() =>
            {
                return new MemoryStream(System.Convert.FromBase64String(base64));
            });
        }

        public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, CultureInfo culture)
        {
            throw new NotSupportedException();
        }
    }

The converter is entered without problems and returns an ImageSource.
Seems that the exception is thrown on binding the new ObservableCollection to my view...

What i am doing wrong here? Can somebody help, please?
