✅ (Avalonia) i dont get data binding

so im following the official tutorial on how to make a simple to-do app with avalonia. everything is fine and dandy but for whatever reason, trying to add a data context doesnt display my hardcoded values i set!

//MainWindow.axaml
<Window         //boiler plate stuff
        x:DataType="vm:MainWindowViewModel"
        x:Class="testAvaloniaApplication1.Views.MainWindow"
        Title="Iskander's great and grand TO-DO list">
    
    <Views:ToDoListView DataContext="{Binding ToDoList}"/>
    
</Window>

adding an element to a VerticalStackLayout in c# doesnt work as expected

hi! so i wanted to add a visual element (in my case a ContentView) to a VerticalStackLayout that i declared in the xaml file and exposed it via x:Name="Stack" i tried doing Stack.Add(MyView) in the cs file, it did add it, i checked the "count" variable in the stack and it did increment but it is not visible. when i resize the window the elements pops into existence. obviously i'd love it if it did render without needing to resize 😅

✅ TcpClient is connected to TcpListener but TcpListener isn't connected...

so this is how i accept clients which passes through with no issues. i've made to sure to catch any errors that could result from function and none is thrown...

public static async Task<bool> AcceptClient(CancellationToken Token)
    {
        if (!IsServer())
        {
            return false;
        }
        Server.Start();
        TcpClient JoinedClient = await Server.AcceptTcpClientAsync(Token);
        Server.Stop(); 

        if (JoinedClient != null)
        {
            Clients.Add(JoinedClient);
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            return false;
        }
    }

public static async Task<bool> AcceptClient(CancellationToken Token)
    {
        if (!IsServer())
        {
            return false;
        }
        Server.Start();
        TcpClient JoinedClient = await Server.AcceptTcpClientAsync(Token);
        Server.Stop(); 

        if (JoinedClient != null)
        {
            Clients.Add(JoinedClient);
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            return false;
        }
    }

this is how the client attempts to connect to the server. this result in a successful connection.

public static async Task<bool> JoinServer(string IpAddress)
    {
        Client = new TcpClient();
        
        if (IPEndPoint.TryParse(IpAddress, out IPEndPoint Result))
        {
            Result.Port = Port;
            await Client.ConnectAsync(Result);
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            Client = null;
            return false;
        }
    }

public static async Task<bool> JoinServer(string IpAddress)
    {
        Client = new TcpClient();
        
        if (IPEndPoint.TryParse(IpAddress, out IPEndPoint Result))
        {
            Result.Port = Port;
            await Client.ConnectAsync(Result);
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            Client = null;
            return false;
        }
    }

my pc is the server while my phone is the client. they're in the same network but i havent touched the firewall settings in my pc yet but i assume that wont cause this issue...

❔ ✅ (SOLVED) TcpListener.AcceptTcpClientAsync does not get cancelled

CancellationTokenSource cancel = new(400);

TcpClient JoinedClient = await Server.AcceptTcpClientAsync(cancel.Token);

CancellationTokenSource cancel = new(400);

TcpClient JoinedClient = await Server.AcceptTcpClientAsync(cancel.Token);

so i expect this code to accept any tcp clients and if a 400ms period pass it will cancel but for whatever reason AcceptTcpClientAsync keeps halting my execution! i could probably run my own wait timer and if the timer finishes then i will call TcpListener.Stop() but i can see how that workaround would cause issues for in the future. and one odd thing is when a tcp client successfully connects to the server the function doesnt finish execution oddly
