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

Post author By Vijay Anand E G
Post date Mar 25, 2026

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.

This is the fourth article in the .NET MAUI – Blazor series and have provided links for the other 3 articles previously published.

This article primarily focuses on the Blazor Hybrid scenarios.

The reason is the potential of Blazor, the modern web UI stack based on Razor SDK and allows to work with C# language constructs which can be used across multiple frameworks with the introduction of BlazorWebView, now officially supported on .NET MAUI, classic Windows desktop application frameworks such as Windows Forms (WinForms) and WPF.

Introducing Shared Class Library – Multi-target Xamarin.Forms and .NET MAUI from a single project

Post author By Vijay Anand E G
Post date May 25, 2022

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).
