Is there a visual editor for MAUI?
LearningNewthingsVisual Studio has removed the XAML designer and replaced it with Hot Reload. I would like to have the old XAML Designer too but i dont know if they will readd it.
You can use Hot Reload to design your Application.
aylineok That is not true, you can NOT use Hot Reload to design your app. In some cases (depending on your scenario) you can use it to TEST your app (runtime), but until your code is complete & debugged enough to try running it, Hot Reload is useless. The purpose of a designer is to be able to layout your pages and/or controls during design time. You obviously can't run HotReload if your code updates a control or detects an event from a control that doesn't exist, which is why you need a Designer to use during DESIGN TIME.
