Bind Columns of SFDataGrid to a ViewModel property in Xamarin Forms

In UWP I was able to bind the Columns of the SfDataGrid to a property in the ViewModel using this example: https://www.syncfusion.com/kb/7811/how-to-bind-a-column-collection-from-viewmodel



However, following the same approach for SfDataGrid in Xamarin.Forms results in an exception : "System.Exception: SfDataGrid.Columns can't be null".



Is the ViewModel binding of the Columns not supported in Xamarin.Forms? If yes, what alternatives do I have to create the grid using dynamic columns?



Thanks in advance.
