What

Prevents a re-entrant/feedback-loop scenario during CanExecute evaluation where forcing dependency bindings to apply (e.g., CommandParameter) can recursively trigger further CanExecute refreshes and lead to hangs.

Why

GetCanExecute currently forces binding application for dependent properties on every evaluation. In scenarios involving frequent command refresh (e.g., MultiBinding-driven CommandParameter updates), this can cause repeated binding reapplication and re-entrant CanExecute calls.

How

Only force dependency binding application when it appears pending:

  • dependency is bound
  • dependency value is currently null

This keeps the original dependency ordering intent while avoiding unnecessary re-application.

Tests

  • dotnet test ./src/Controls/tests/Xaml.UnitTests/Controls.Xaml.UnitTests.csproj
  • dotnet test ./src/Controls/tests/Xaml.UnitTests/Controls.Xaml.UnitTests.csproj --blame-hang --blame-hang-timeout 10s --filter FullyQualifiedName~Maui18123

Key Findings

Purpose: Fixes a re-entrancy/feedback loop issue in command dependency evaluation that caused hangs when CommandParameter is frequently updated (e.g., via MultiBinding).

The Fix: Adds guards to prevent unnecessary forced binding reapplication - only forces when binding is truly pending (bound but still null).

Concerns Identified:

  1. Edge Case Risk: The null check could break scenarios where null is a legitimate CommandParameter value that needs re-evaluation
  2. Test Coverage: No test for the edge case where null is a valid bound value

Test Migration: Also migrates two NUnit tests to xUnit (correct implementation).

Verdict: Code logic is sound and solves the reported issue, but there's a potential edge case that should be tested.

The reviewer is asking if you'd like them to proceed with validation (running tests, adding edge case tests).
