What’s New in the All-in-One .NET MAUI Templates Pack v9.0 – Hello Avalonia

In line with the annual release cadence, the first public preview of .NET 11, an STS version, was released last month.

The second preview was released this month. It was then followed by the much-awaited preview release of the Avalonia backend for .NET MAUI, which is now available.

Simply put, .NET MAUI renders native controls from the underlying platform. Avalonia uses Skia to draw its controls across different platforms. This allows Avalonia to offer a similar look and feel everywhere.

With Avalonia, you can use the same .NET MAUI codebase to target even more platforms, including Linux and WebAssembly.

Basically, Avalonia offers a set of .NET MAUI Handlers designed to render Skia (Drawn) controls for .NET MAUI views.

Avalonia has announced plans to align its GA with the release of .NET MAUI 11 stable later this year.

Excited to share that preview support for both is now built into the All-in-One templates pack.

As the name suggests, it has a slew of features under the hood to work with .NET MAUI. To know more about all the features of this template pack, refer to the series of articles listed here.

.NET MAUI – Blazor Hybrid – WinUI 3

.NET MAUI and Blazor – Best of both modern technologies for Mobile, Desktop, and Web solutions from a single codebase.

But app development is of two categories: Existing ones and Greenfield development. New features can be part of the latter quite easily as they’re done from scratch but definitely not that easy on the former as existing investments need to be protected. Changes can be quite expensive as they need to be thoroughly validated before rolling out to production use.

.NET MAUI – Blazor – Interop

This is Part 2 in the multi-part series of .NET MAUI – Blazor articles.

In Part 1, we’ve seen an introduction on how to make use of BlazorWebView in the .NET MAUI app.

Part 3 of this series is on the streamlined process of registering the dependencies for BlazorWebView from .NET MAUI RC1 release.

Since it is implemented as a View, it’s possible to share data between .NET MAUI and Blazor and that’s the takeaway of this article. Along with that, the core logic is now abstracted as Razor Class Library (RCL), Dependency Injection, and Component routing for Navigation.
