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

.NET Blazor Hybrid – Windows Desktop Templates

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.

ChatGPT and Copilot were the primary focus of this year’s MSBuild 2023, Microsoft’s annual developer conference.

From the .NET MAUI perspective, with just around 1 year of official support left for Xamarin, which will end on May 1, 2024, the main focus was on the upgrade from Xamarin to .NET MAUI.

.NET MAUI – Templates for Visual Studio 2022

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.
