Can't bind text to Text property

[danilwhale]

i get this when trying to build project:

Error AVLN:0004 Avalonia: Unable to find suitable setter or adder for property Text of type AvaloniaEdit:AvaloniaEdit.TextEditor for argument Avalonia.Markup.Xaml:Avalonia.Markup.Xaml.MarkupExtensions.CompiledBindingExtension, available setter parameter lists are:
--
2 | System.String Line 138, position 50.

here is my code:

<AvaloniaEdit:TextEditor Text="{Binding Code}"
                         ShowLineNumbers="True"/>

my Code property is string, no issues happen when i bind it to TextBlock

One possible workaround seems to be binding to the Document property of the TextEditor instead of the Text property, using a TextDocument instance inside the view model.

The best practice at now is to create a converter that accept string and return Document.
