This is an article in the Developer Tips series, which offers concise hints to enhance productivity. You can access all the articles in this series here.

Border:

From .NET MAUI 9 onwards, the Frame control has been marked as obsolete, paving the way for more robust Border control.

An article has already been published detailing the comprehensive features of .NET MAUI 9.

The Border serves as a container control, akin to the Frame; however, it exhibits significantly greater flexibility, enabling the user to delineate any enclosed geometric shape.

Abstracts the Shared components as a separate .NET MAUI Class Library

As we all know .NET MAUI is an evolution of Xamarin.Forms. The underlying architecture transitioned from Renderers to Handlers. The project structure is unified. But for the projects that are getting migrated and developers coming from Xamarin.Forms background would feel at home with the classic multi-project solution structure.

To effectively support this, the All-in-One project templates introduced an option to abstract the Shared components as a separate .NET MAUI Class Library.

Introducing Shared Class Library – Multi-target Xamarin.Forms and .NET MAUI from a single project

Very happy to announce the availability of the Shared Class Library project template, a library that targets both Xamarin.Forms and .NET MAUI from one single project.

We all know that .NET MAUI is an evolution of Xamarin.Forms targeting .NET 6 (as of this writing), a cross-platform UI stack (native UI) targeting the Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows platforms to complement the .NET toolchain (SDK & Workloads), and a single base class library (BCL).
