Binding image source dynamically on xamarin forms

Issue

my question is, could I Binding string image to image source ? I have multiple image and the image will change on if condition. So:

Xaml on Xamarin forms:

<Image Source="{Binding someImage}" Aspect="Fill" Grid.Row="2"></Image>

Codebehind c#

   public String someImage;
    public String SomeImage
    {
        set
        {
            if (someImage != value)
            {
                someImage = value;                                        
            }
        }
        get
        {
            return someImage;
        }
    }

InitializeComponent part:

if(true)
            {
                someImage = "backgroundListViewGren.png";
            }
            else
            {
                someImage = "backgroundListViewRed.png";
            }

the image is in "Images" folder on portable project

but this, doesn't work, maybe i wront something but I don't understand. Any solutions ?

I've tried with ImageSource and not string, but don't work too.

Solution

I'll post this answer here because it's the one I was looking for and I suspect most others are (and Google currently directs you here, which currently isn't super helpful).

How to bind an image using XAML:

XAML:

<Image>
    <Image.Source>
        <FileImageSource File="{Binding SomeImage}" />
    </Image.Source>
</Image>

Then in the ViewModel, C#:

public string SomeImage
{
    get { return string.Format("prefix-{0}-suffix.png", OtherProperty); }
}

Newer, better, but essentially equivalent c# you can use instead of the above:

public string SomeImage => $"prefix-{OtherProperty}-suffix.png";

This is certainly the easiest way to set it up, IMO :).

EDIT: It should go without saying, but the image should obviously be in the Resources folder of the project for each platform.

EDIT2, much later: In case it's not obvious, "prefix", "suffix" are just random strings, SomeImage just has to return the path of your image. SomeImage and OtherProperty are members of your view model class, OtherProperty is just something you're basing your image name on (because if you know the whole name in advance, you don't need this question).
