Post author By Vijay Anand E G

The topic for this June month’s .NET MAUI community standup is VS Code Updates.

Of late, VS Code has incorporated many new features, such as XAML IntelliSense and Hot Reload, as the end of support for VS for Mac is quickly approaching (Aug 31, 2024).

Update: The community links for this month’s standup are here.

Refer to this article to start Using VS Code for .NET MAUI development.

David highlighted using MAUI Nightly Builds in the standup. Projects in the All-in-One templates pack already support utilizing the Nightly builds from version 4.6 onwards. However, setting up the package source from the CI feed involves a few manual steps as detailed in the earlier article.

But, automation is the need of the hour. The upcoming release of templates pack v5.6, scheduled for this week, will streamline the process by eliminating manual steps, ensuring seamless functionality when selecting the Nightly builds option upon project creation. Cool 😊.

Update: v5.6 has just been released. Consult this article for further details.

It’s the month of May, so it’s time for Microsoft Build, its annual developer conference, where it’ll showcase the innovative features to the community.

It’s the age of AI, which is disrupting the status quo. So most of the sessions are scheduled along that line as expected.

For .NET MAUI, Blazor, and C#, these are the highly recommended sessions to watch.

.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.

1 Comment on Blazor – All along the way – Hybrid Apps

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.
