How can I bind the visibility of a XAML Component to a model property?

I want to bind the visibility of

<TextBlock Text="{x:Bind ViewModel.Time}" />

to a variable.

I tried to bind it to Visibility enum and google the problem. Found no solution for winui 3.

As @Simon Mourier mentioned in a comment, you can just bind to a "Visibility" property in your ViewModel:

public partial class ViewModel : ObservableObject
{
    [ObservableProperty]
    private string time = DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss");

    [ObservableProperty]
    private Visibility timeVisibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
}

Note:

I'm using the CommunityToolkit.Mvvm NuGet package to implement the ViewModel.

• ObservableObject
• ObservableProperty

<TextBlock
    Text="{x:Bind ViewModel.Time}"
    Visibility="{x:Bind ViewModel.TimeVisibility, Mode=OneWay}" />

Or, if you want to avoid "UI" related code in your ViewModel, you can bind the TextBlock's Visibility to a bool and use a ValueConverter like this:

public partial class ViewModel : ObservableObject
{
    [ObservableProperty]
    private string time = DateTime.Now.ToString();

    [ObservableProperty]
    private bool isTimeVisible = false;
}

public class TrueToVisibleConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language)
    {
        return value is bool boolValue && boolValue is true
            ? Visibility.Visible
            : Visibility.Collapsed;
    }

    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

<TextBlock
    Text="{x:Bind ViewModel.Time}"
    Visibility="{x:Bind ViewModel.IsTimeVisible, Mode=OneWay, Converter={StaticResource TrueToVisibleConverter}}" />
