Xamarin.Forms how to bind data in code to swipe view (working in xaml) - xamarin.forms

Question

I have a swipeview from xml like this:
</swipeCardView:SwipeCardView.ItemTemplate>
<swipecardview:swipecardview.itemssource>
<x:array type="{x:type x:string}">
<x:string>card 1</x:string>
<x:string>card 2</x:string>
<x:string>card 3</x:string>
<x:string>card 4</x:string>
<x:string>card 5</x:string>
<x:string>card 6</x:string>
</x:array>
</swipecardview:swipecardview.itemssource>
</swipeCardView:SwipeCardView>
If I add this to the xaml, I get 6 elements, all showing my layout (which is good).
But I need to be able to set the amount of layouts programatically.
How do I bind it like it is done here only from code?
(Sorry, I am very new to this...)
: This is the full layout:
<swipeCardView:SwipeCardView
Grid.Row="0"
ItemsSource="{Binding CardItems}"
Grid.Column="1"
VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
<swipeCardView:SwipeCardView.ItemTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<!--Content of Swipe. Just remove wrapping to get layout to render-->
<Grid RowSpacing="0" BackgroundColor="White">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="1.5*" />
<RowDefinition Height="0.5*" />
<RowDefinition Height="1.5*" />

</Grid.RowDefinitions>

Answer 1

you can just assign the ItemsSource in code, or bind it to a model
List<string> data = new List<string>() { "a", "b", "c" };
mySwipeView.ItemsSource = data;
