Do you have to use XAML with .NET MAUI??? NOOOOO! #dotnetmaui #dotnet

When you have valid XAML, but doesn't work as expected in MAUI, you will know the pain.

My only gripe is that WPF XAML does not always translate or work with MAUI. For whatever reason they decided to change some of the XAML conventions...was very frustrating going from WPF to MAUI.

I also really like built in C# Markup in the Uno Platform framework, and their MVUX approach.🙂

i fell comfortable with xaml because i got a background in wpf, you need to have a solid foundation about how xaml works, i recommend you Pro WPF in C# 2010: Windows Presentation Foundation in .NET 4, it's quite old book but you it does a clear understanding in xaml and wpf in general

Yes but, are you ready to rebuild every time you make a change. I know there are packages to do a refresh, but it should be by default. It will be great 😅

I've built applications for Windows Phone using Xaml, but I never liked it. I've always preferred the WinForms way of building UIs. I have always found it to be easier to use WinForms to build robust UIs for large applications, but just as easy for something small. I find markup to be irritating and tedious.

How do you use MVU, can anyone point me to an example or documentation

Still not convinced. Just get rid of XAML and go Kotlin/JetPack compose/SwiftUI/Flutter.
