  • An Introduction to .NET MAUI

    Last updated: Wednesday, October 8, 2025

    Published in: CODE Focus Magazine: 2021 - Vol. 18 - Issue 1 - .NET 6.0

    Steven Thewissen surveys .NET MAUI as the evolution of Xamarin.Forms, outlining how MAUI consolidates cross-platform development by unifying UI with a single .NET 6 base and replacing renderers with a leaner handlers architecture. He explains architectural reshaping (interfaces, explicit handler registration, and a mapper for property changes), the adoption of the .NET Generic Host, and the new Single Project resource model. The article also covers migration paths for existing Xamarin.Forms apps, compatibility with existing renderers, and the future openness and ecosystem potential of MAUI.
