.NET MAUI RefreshView Commands

Updated on Nov 10, 2026

The RefreshView executes a command when a refresh starts. Use the command to load data in your view model when you follow the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern.

Refresh Command Properties

The RefreshView exposes the following command properties:

Command (ICommand)—Specifies the command that the RefreshView executes when a refresh starts. The command executes before the Refreshing event, if the command can execute.
CommandParameter (object)—Specifies the parameter passed to the Command.

While the CanExecute method of the command returns false, pull gestures don't start a refresh. Setting IsRefreshing to true still starts a refresh.

Execute a Command on Refresh

The following example demonstrates how to bind the Command, CommandParameter, and IsRefreshing properties of the RefreshView to a view model.

Define the RefreshView in XAML:

XAML

<telerik:RadRefreshView Grid.Row="1"
                        IsRefreshing="{Binding IsRefreshing}"
                        Command="{Binding RefreshCommand}"
                        CommandParameter="News">
    <VerticalStackLayout Padding="20"
                         Spacing="10"
                         BackgroundColor="#EEEEEE">
        <Label Text="Pull down to execute the RefreshCommand." />
        <Label Text="{Binding Headline}"
               FontAttributes="Bold" />
        <Label Text="{Binding Status}"
               TextColor="Gray" />
    </VerticalStackLayout>
</telerik:RadRefreshView>

Add the telerik namespace:

XAML

xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2022/xaml/maui"

Define the command in your view model. When the data is loaded, set IsRefreshing to false to end the refresh:

public class ViewModel : NotifyPropertyChangedBase
{
    private readonly string[] headlines =
    {
        "Telerik UI for .NET MAUI ships a new RefreshView",
        "Pull-to-refresh now works with any content",
        "Customize the refresh indicator with styles and templates",
    };

    private readonly Command refreshCommand;
    private bool isRefreshing;
    private bool canRefresh = true;
    private int refreshCount;
    private string headline;
    private string status = "Not refreshed yet";

    public ViewModel()
    {
        this.headline = this.headlines[0];
        this.refreshCommand = new Command(this.ExecuteRefresh, this.CanExecuteRefresh);
    }

    public ICommand RefreshCommand => this.refreshCommand;

    public bool IsRefreshing
    {
        get => this.isRefreshing;
        set => this.UpdateValue(ref this.isRefreshing, value);
    }

    public bool CanRefresh
    {
        get => this.canRefresh;
        set
        {
            if (this.UpdateValue(ref this.canRefresh, value))
            {
                this.refreshCommand.ChangeCanExecute();
            }
        }
    }

    public string Headline
    {
        get => this.headline;
        set => this.UpdateValue(ref this.headline, value);
    }

    public string Status
    {
        get => this.status;
        set => this.UpdateValue(ref this.status, value);
    }

    private bool CanExecuteRefresh(object parameter) => this.CanRefresh;

    private async void ExecuteRefresh(object parameter)
    {
        await Task.Delay(1500);
        this.refreshCount++;
        this.Headline = this.headlines[this.refreshCount % this.headlines.Length];
        this.Status = $"{parameter} refreshed {this.refreshCount} time(s)";
        this.IsRefreshing = false;
    }
}
