What is the difference between ReactiveUI BindTo and ToProperty methods?

Question

ToProperty () seems to be used for observable read-only properties, but when do I want to use BindTo ()?

Answer 1

ToProperty is for ViewModels, while BindTo is a little more flexible and is intended to be used in the presentation layer of your applications. For example (this particular use case is not really the best practice, but it is a good example):

this.WhenAny(x => x.ViewModel.IsTextEnabled)
    .Select(x => x ? Visibility.Visible : Visibility.Collapsed)
    .BindTo(this, x => x.TextBox.Visibility);
