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.

Messaging in .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid Apps using MVVM Toolkit

This is the third article in the MVVM Made Easy series with a focus on Messaging in .NET MAUI and Blazor Hybrid apps.

Here are the links to other articles in this series.

Although the fundamentals remain the same, the preceding articles were published after the initial version of the MVVM Toolkit, and a lot has transpired since then. An updated article is being prepared and published soon.

Blazor Hybrid represents an exemplary integration of cross-platform .NET MAUI and the Blazor components.

It facilitates the utilization of C# expertise in the development of various applications, including those for Desktop, Mobile, and Web platforms.

However, there are instances when these disparate components must communicate with one another for the integration to function effectively.

Whenever the necessity arises to facilitate communication between loosely coupled components, messaging represents the most effective solution.

SLNX – XML-based Visual Studio Solution Files – No more cryptic GUIDs – How to Manage from CLI

No more cryptic GUIDs - Here's XML-based SLNX solution files.
No more cryptic GUIDs - Here's XML-based SLNX solution files.

Comprehending the intricacies of a system often requires more than just deciphering the code itself. It also involves understanding the web of dependencies that are inextricably linked to it.

This includes navigating through solution files, project files, package references, static asset management, build configuration, and other related components.

With .NET going cross-platform, SDK-style projects have been introduced. The project files have been significantly simplified. They are now more comprehensible. Due to their XML-based nature, they can be easily modified using a basic text editor.

Nonetheless, the restructuring of the Visual Studio solution file is long overdue due to its intricate layout and obscure GUIDs.

Elevating .NET MAUI Item Templates: Simplified Namespace Resolution in Latest Release

Back in February, an article was published on the efficient utilization of Item Templates through the use of script automation. The article, titled .NET MAUI – Item Templates – Made Easy on CLI and VS Code, provides a detailed focus on this topic.

That article addressed two issues:

  • Better namespace resolution
  • Do more with fewer keystrokes

Now, the namespace resolution issue has been partially supported within the .NET SDK, eliminating the requirement for additional script files. A PR was submitted to the .NET Templating source repository, underwent review, and was subsequently merged into the main branch. This enhancement was then included in the release of .NET 9 Preview 6.
