Xamarin.Forms
35 TopicsCan we use Maui.Essentials without Maui UI framework?
Previously Xamarin.Essencials was an independed library that could be used with non-XamarinForms applications. Currently this library was rebranded into Maui.Essentials. Which raises a question, if this library become a part of Maui framework with hard dependency on it, or if it still can be used without this GUI framework. I don't see any references to the Maui framework at the moment except Microsoft.Maui.Graphics. Still, I want to see official confirmation stated somewhere. Use cases: 1. We want to be able to build Avalonia applications and use helpers from Maui.Essentials without referencing whole Maui framework. 2. Same about Uno Platform. It should be possible to use it with Maui.Essentials without Maui framework. 3. I also can imagine applications that are built with "net6-ios/android" targets with native UIs without "Forms" from MAUI. These applications will benefit from Maui.Essentials without unnecessary dependency from Maui framework.

Sorry for using some made up term but I have no idea what this little menu is called. So I referred to it as "xaml Inspector" I have 2 systems opening the same project, one is 17.3 preview 6 and the other is 17.3.2. On the preview version I can see this menu when I debug my MAUI app in Windows. I cannot see it on the 17.3.2 release, which seems to also be part of a wider debugging issue that I'm experiencing. Any idea how to fix this? Maybe I have changed a setting somewhere but am not aware of what. Thanks in advance!Solved1.6KViews1like2CommentsWhat platform/technology/framework to use. I am lost. :-(
Hi everyone, I want to develop a new application that will run on Windows (desktop app) and android. I have about 30y of experience in development and the last 15 in C#/VS/.NET. At work we work with Winforms/WPF and .NET 4.8. For my personal new product I would like to start with all the latest and greatest but it's hard to find what to use. First of all I upgraded to VS 2022. I've been reading about .NET5/6, Xamarin, Xamarin Forms, .NET MAUI, Win UI, Winforms, WPF, UWP, Blazor, .NET Core, .NET Standard,.... but it's a mess to get an overview of what would fit best. The project would have 1 or 2 core assembly's with the logic and then a UI for Windows and one for Android. So before I start I would like to get an idea of what you would use. Thanks!Solved11KViews1like7Comments
