.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).

1 Comment on Transitioning from Application’s MainPage to Window’s Page in .NET MAUI 9

This article analyzes a significant change introduced in .NET MAUI 9, specifically the deprecation of the Application’s MainPage property, which has been replaced by the Window’s Page property.

An article has already been published detailing the comprehensive features of .NET MAUI 9.

The MainPage has existed since the inception of Xamarin.Forms, at which time it functioned as a single-window UI framework.

Nevertheless, the design of .NET MAUI incorporates the concept of a Window to effectively support Desktop form factors, including WinUI and Mac Catalyst.
