Hey James, just wanted to tell you that you are one of the very few youtubers who actually post quality content regularly about .NET, MAUI and the likes, and it helps a lot. Keep up the good work!

[douchelarouche]

Hi James, There is a CornerRadium property on the Button element. However I dont see an effect when I set it. The corners of the button stay rectangular.. do you have any idea why?

Thanks James, any suggestions as to where I could train on MAUI. Couldn't find any that was for beginners...

Thank you, James for the informative video. Waiting for financial release.

Is Maui a replacement for WPF or Xamarin or both? Currently at work we use WPF for our on prem software and I'm curious if going forward for new releases we should instead use Maui (when it's released of course)?

Hi James, at 3:15 the startup time is for a blank App. The bane of Xamarin is the startup time when UI controls are in place. Are there any work done to improve this?

[Dimitris.Christoforidis]

Hello James!! And thank you very much for your helpful videos. My qustion is why shadow or border is not embeded inside control, and i need to implement Image.Shadow?? It needs more code

[ErosStein]

Any idea on when we'll be able to debug on macOS? Neither VS4Mac nor Rider provide support... eagerly waiting for a time when I won't have to load parallels and VS2022 to debug Maui.

Hey :) Thanks for the great videos. I still could not find any example that contains navigation with shell or any other method. So can you please share a link that contains navigation example ? Also is it possible to deploy an app to the market now even MAUI still in preview ?

[tonipihlar]

Hey, James, when do you think I would be able to put a MAUI app to production? Even if it is not the final release. I am just starting a smaller app (3 month to finish) and would really like to do it in MAUI...

Hi James thanks for another cool video. Quick question . Is possible to show how to build a pipeline iOS that builds with c#10? Mono if I am not wrong at the moment only supports c#7 and the iOS pipelines fails with c#9/10.. I think there is a workaround with msbuild but could not make it work. Thanks for your time

[farsidesc]

Would you please share your system specs, so I can get an idea of relative performance? Tyvm!

James, I used XAML Styler all of the time in VS 2019 and loved it! What did you need to do to get it to port over to VS 2022?

[kevinfurst]

Hi James, does it makes sense to already start developing a new app with MAUI? Im not sure since its going to be delayed to Q2 of 2022

But did have have some kind of an edotir for MAUI in the meantime? Only code editor without any (instant) preview is boring ... for bigger apps.
