.NET MAUI Community Toolkit v10.0 - How to Fix Behaviors BindingContext Issues

Yesterday marked the official release of the highly anticipated .NET MAUI Toolkit (CommunityToolkit.Maui) package v10.0, introducing native support for .NET 9.

Though it is the extended arm of .NET MAUI app development, for newcomers, this officially supported toolkit offers a comprehensive collection of essential components—such as Alerts, Behaviors, Converters, Extensions, Layouts, and Views—that are crucial for developing real-world apps.

This new release has some breaking changes, with the most notable being aligning with the design change introduced in .NET MAUI 9, where Behaviors no longer automatically inherit the BindingContext of their parent (a major shift from the original Xamarin.Forms design).

Undoubtedly, CommunityToolkit.Mvvm, aka Microsoft MVVM Toolkit, has recently become one of the most popular NuGet packages among MVVM developers.

However, after the release of package version 8.3 and later, while building the project referencing this Toolkit has encountered failures, accompanied by perplexing error messages like System.TypeInitializationException or Found conflicts between different versions of 'WinRT.Runtime' that could not be resolved. when targeting the Windows 10 platform.

Post date Jun 15, 2024

After the installation of .NET MAUI 9 Preview 5, an XAML compilation (XAMLC) issue has arisen.

In general, it is not necessary to explicitly specify the default property such as Content, Children, etc.

The Content is the default property for Page, View, and Toolkit’s Popup, and this XAMLC issue is about the Content property.

.NET MAUI Community Toolkit Maps - WinUI 3 App

This article provides a comprehensive guide on leveraging the Maps feature from the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit in a WinUI 3 App through the robust Embedding feature.

The CommunityToolkit.Maui.Maps NuGet package provides access to Bing Maps through a WebView on Windows. The Handler definitions for the Windows platform for the .NET MAUI Maps feature are hosted in this package.

To ensure the Maps feature functions correctly on the native WinUI 3 App, it is imperative to slightly adjust the feature initialization in the MAUI pipeline.

.NET MAUI – Native Embedding

Post author By Vijay Anand E G
Post date Feb 29, 2024

The Native Embedding feature in .NET MAUI is a charming capability inherited from the legacy of Xamarin.Forms.

The platform project can make use of abstracted .NET MAUI pages and controls directly, showcasing its enhanced capabilities in this aspect.

To gain further insights, please consult my previous article outlining how to implement Blazor Hybrid in the WinUI 3 project.

When compared with the time of Xamarin.Forms, significant progress has been made in the implementation of this feature, such as the definition of a platform-independent extension method called ToPlatform().

1 Comment on .NET MAUI 8 Service Releases

After the holidays, the first service release (SR1) of .NET MAUI on .NET 8 was released today.

So instead of doing an dotnet workload update, follow the steps given below to pull the latest version so the change is minimal and future-proof for the existing projects.

While trying to restore the recent release of .NET MAUI Community Toolkit v6.0.0 and Markup Toolkit v3.3.0, faced this issue This package is signed but not by a trusted signer.

A similar signing issue came up while installing the workload of .NET MAUI on .NET 8 RC1. However a workaround was provided to overcome the signing issue by bypassing the sign check by trusting NuGet as the package source.

.NET 8 is the next LTS release and is currently in preview. .NET, .NET MAUI, and Visual Studio 2022 release a public preview every month for quite some time.

On Tue, Jul 11, another preview version of .NET 8 got released along with VS2022 17.7.0 Preview 3.0.

After installing the latest preview bits, the Android projects failed to build. Upon investigation, found that the Android SDK location got reset to the “Program Files” folder. Since I’ve been working with .NET MAUI from the early prerelease, the Android SDK was originally installed in the Android\Sdk sub-folder in the user’s local application data folder (then recommended path to install).

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.
