How to turn Event into Command in Xamarin Forms MVVM

Tools: I am using Xamarin forms & MVVM

I am following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mpe_1okwxk&list=PLwOF5UVsZWUiHY1CkRVjYJ6dm0iCvAlfw&index=12

NuGet: I have installed NuGet > xamarin.community.toolkit

Error:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: 'Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.'

Your app has entered a break state, but there is no code to show because all threads were executing external code (typically system or framework code).

Debug:

I am trying to Convert Collection ItemSelect Event Into a Command. I know issue is def with code that is trying to convert event to command But I am not sure how to go about debugging this error. Since app has entered in break state, I can't simple add break points. I did copy/paste outfile at bottom of this topic

Note if I remove code that convert event to command, that it works fine. So this means issue is with: CollectionView.Behaviors or xct:ItemSelectedEventArgsConverter

I was mixing up ListView with CollectionView. CollectionView already has buildin SelectionChangedCommand so no need for <CollectionView.Behaviors> stuff

Following code worked for me

View

<CollectionView ItemsSource="{Binding ProductsList}"
             SelectedItem="{Binding ItemSelectedEvent, Mode=TwoWay}"
             SelectionChangedCommand="{Binding SelectionChangedCommand}">

ViewModel

 public AsyncCommand<ProductModel> SelectionChangedCommand { get; }
 ...
 SelectionChangedCommand = new AsyncCommand<ProductModel>(OnSelectionChangedCommand);

 async Task OnSelectionChangedCommand(ProductModel productModel)
 {
        //item is not selected so do nothing
        if (productModel == null)
            return;

        //item is selcted so do logic here
           await Application.Current.MainPage.DisplayAlert("Selected works", "yayyy", "Cancel");
}
