Windows Forms and WPF are proven solid frameworks for creating high-performance Windows desktop client applications.
Blazor, a framework for full-stack web development with C# and Razor.
When these two technologies come together, then it’s certainly a delight for the .NET developers as it paves the way to leverage the skills they’re already familiar with and an option to modernize the existing applications.
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.
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).
Much to the user’s delight, Microsoft released the stable version of .NET MAUI (General Availablity) a day before the start of its annual developer conference event, MSBuild.
The templates are out of the preview band with version # 6.0.312 and the package is now available to install from the NuGet.

To celebrate the 20th Birthday of .NET in style, happy to announce the release of a unified .NET MAUI App project template (with a short name mauiapp) published as both a VS extension & CLI template package to benefit the users on both Windows and macOS. This is also accessible from within Visual Studio IDE.
Update: The latest article describing the template features of .NET 8 is available here.
With .NET 6 Preview 6 released on Jul 14, 2021, and now Preview 7 released on Aug 10, 2021, .NET MAUI progressed a lot with Workloads, Gestures, Clipping, Alerts, New Layouts, and mainly first-class support for Visual Studio 2022 (with Preview 3.x). But, there is a catch here. NO item templates for Visual Studio for now :-(.
Update: This extension is now updated to support .NET MAUI Preview 10 with VS2022 Preview (17.1.0 Preview 1.0) IDE and .NET MAUI (Preview) Mobile Development workload installed. This can be downloaded and installed from the same link mentioned in this article.
Update: A more advanced All-in-One .NET MAUI App project template is now available to install. Check out this article for more details.
