VijayAnand.MauiToolkit is a toolkit that provides various types and methods to make working with .NET MAUI easier. It’s available as a NuGet package and can be installed using the command below.

dotnet add package VijayAnand.MauiToolkit

The latest addition is the Application, Window, and Page integrated app hosting builder extension method.

Introduction:

From .NET MAUI 9, you need to create your main window to run your app by overriding the CreateWindow() method. Instead of setting the Application’s MainPage, pass the page as a parameter to the constructor of the Window type. Alternatively, set its Page property. This topic has already been covered in detail in an earlier article.

Since the app startup configuration is done in one location, MauiProgram.cs, it’s best to set the main Window while configuring the Application in the UseMauiApp() method. Thus the inherited App type acts as a container for global resources. It also handles app events like Start, Sleep, and Resume.

.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).

Starting a new series entitled XAML for Beginners elucidates the concept of declarative markup to define UI in .NET applications. All articles within this series can be accessed from here.

The second installment of this series is now available to read here.

XAML is an acronym that stands for eXtensible Application Markup Language. It was first introduced in 2006, accompanying the initial release of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) alongside .NET 3.0.

The principal objective of this methodology is to segregate the UI design from the program logic. This separation allows the design team to focus solely on the UI, while the program logic can be developed and evaluated independently. Consequently, these components can be integrated into a unified system.

The MVVM design pattern is an exemplary framework for accomplishing this. However, XAML also supports the code-behind approach.
