Last week introduced the .NET MAUI Generic Item Templates for CLI. Since switching between the IDE and the Terminal is always a constraint. So decided to implement the revolutionary generic templates within the IDE itself so the experience is quite delightful. The right tools and techniques result in improved productivity. Achieve more in less time.
Published as a VS extension, starting v4.9.0.0
It’s been a long time since an article describing the features of the All-in-One .NET MAUI templates pack and a lot has changed after the last article with so many new features onboarding.
As the name suggests, has a slew of features under the hood to work with .NET MAUI and is available as both a CLI Template and a VS Extension. Here’s the command to install the CLI part.
First things first, wishing you all a very happy, healthy, and prosperous new year 2024.
2023 wrapped with the release of a newer version of VijayAnand.Toolkit.Markup (aka SharedToolkit), which comes with the wrapper method that allows specifying the Binding as a LINQ expression without the need to specify an additional getter or setter.
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).
This article is the second part of this MVVM – Made Easy series. The first part of this article, covering the basics, is linked here.
As seen in the first part, INotifyPropertyChanged (INPC) is the interface that defines the event which raises the notification whenever the value of the property gets changed.
The Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) is a software design pattern that is structured to separate program (business) logic and user interface controls. The main advantage is, that the program logic is fully unit-testable as it functions independently of the UI controls (loosely coupled). It is very popular among the developers of XAML-based UI frameworks such as WPF, UWP, Xamarin.Forms, .NET MAUI, WinUI, and even other 3rd Party frameworks such as Uno.
