.NET MAUI Community Toolkit v11.2 - RatingView control

Yesterday marked the release of v11.2 of the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit, which is based on .NET MAUI 9 SR5 (v9.0.50).

Though it serves as the extended arm of .NET MAUI app development, newcomers will discover this officially supported toolkit to be of immense value.

It provides a thorough array of essential components, including Alerts, Behaviors, Converters, Extensions, Layouts, and Views, which are vital for creating practical, real-world applications.

The Rating control is one of the most used controls while developing feedback pages. Requesting users to rate their quality of service, product reviews, questionnaires, surveys, KPIs, appraisals, feedback forms, user interactions like likes and dislikes, etc. Later, this data can be used to search, suggest, list, and improve products/services.
