How a user select to display 1 out of two (or more) fields on a single Label in Xamarin

Question

I'm trying to use a single Label to display one of the two data fields alternately in Xamarin Forms. Only Label 1 Displaying the binding field (Contact_Name), while second Label which I am trying to use a variable "DisplayField" is not displaying either 'Contact_Address' or 'Contact_eMail' . Question posted before and Another user tried to help but it didn't work!

Model Class

public class Contacts
{
  [PrimaryKey][Autoincrement]
  public int Contact_ID { get; set; }
  public string Contact_Name { get; set; }
  public string Contact_Address { get; set; }
  public string Contact_eMail { get; set; }
}

     CList = new ObservableCollection<Contacts>(list);

View Model Class

 public class FieldViewModel : INotifyPropertyChanged
 {
 public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

 String _field;

 public string Field
 {
    set
    {
        if (!value.Equals(_field, StringComparison.Ordinal))
        {
            _field = value;
            OnPropertyChanged("DisplayField");
        }
    }
    get
    {
        return _field;
    }
  }
  void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
  {
    PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new 
    PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
  }
 }

Answer 1

You could use IsVisible property to achieve that, not need to bind only one lable.

Therefore, binding Contact_Address and Contact_eMail with two lables in StackLayout as follows:

<StackLayout Orientation="Vertical" VerticalOptions="Center">
     <Label Text="{Binding Contact_Name}" FontSize="Medium" LineBreakMode="WordWrap" />
     <Label Text="{Binding Contact_Address}" IsVisible="{Binding AddressVisible}" LineBreakMode="WordWrap" />
     <Label Text="{Binding Contact_eMail}" IsVisible="{Binding EMailVisible}" LineBreakMode="WordWrap" />
</StackLayout>

Then in Contacts add two visiable proerty:

public class Contacts: INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

    ...

    private bool addressVisible;
    public bool AddressVisible
    {
        set
        {
            if (addressVisible != value)
            {
                addressVisible = value;
                OnPropertyChanged("AddressVisible");
            }
        }
        get
        {
            return addressVisible;
        }
    }

    private bool eMailVisible;
    public bool EMailVisible
    {
        set
        {
            if (eMailVisible != value)
            {
                eMailVisible = value;
                OnPropertyChanged("EMailVisible");
            }
        }
        get
        {
            return eMailVisible;
        }
    }

    protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
    {
        PropertyChanged?.Invoke(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
    }

}

Now in Contentpage, you could modify the visiable propery when button be clicked:

private void Display_Address(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    foreach(var item in CList )
    {
        item.AddressVisible = true;
        item.EMailVisible = false;
    }
}

private void Display_eMail(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    foreach (var item in CList )
    {
        item.AddressVisible = false;
        item.EMailVisible = true;
    }
}

Here is the effect:
