Building .NET Hybrid Apps with Blazor

WebView2 is Microsoft's new embedded web browser control, built on top oHybrid apps are native apps that use web technologies for the UI. In this session we'll look at how you can use Blazor to build hybrid apps using .NET instead of JavaScript. We'll explore building .NET hybrid apps for mobile and desktop using the experimental Mobile Blazor Bindings, and then discuss our plans for supporting cross-platform hybrid desktop apps with .NET 6 and .NET Multi-platform App UI.

Awesome! Thanks Daniel Roth, Eilon Lipton and xamarin engineers for yours great work!!

[lasindunuwanga]

Wow
This made me crazy
No more js or node
It is just my favourite C# everywhere
Love it
Thanks MS Team 💞

Excellent current blazor mobile binding have to be part of Maui for sure! I’m totally agree so fast to learn to work with Blazor and wasm, easy to understand and deploy every where. Excellent !

[abduls]

your excitement is telling that how beautiful is the future of .Net Core (PAW and SPA.-progressive web app and single page apps)
Thumbs Up!

This man seriously decided to show you can do native desktop stuff by trying to format his own drive. I love it LOL

[leakyabstraction]

Wow, can't wait for .NET 6, based on what was said. Probably I'll jump into Blazor at that point.

Great demo; really excited by this technology

[joaolucasgtr]

That's impressive! I liked the way you can inject ContextState inside a component... it reminds me of service injection from emberjs. That's a really useful feature!

Awesome job!

[tomleeson]

incredible awesome just what was needed...

[buka.a]

This is gonna end Javascript frameworks in dotnet communities

[wobuntu]

Love it! But I don' really get why I would use MAUI if I can now use web technologies for my UI... No more rewriting of hundreds of lines of XAML template code just to change a tiny detail on a control, or writing restrictive storyboards for just animating some color transition (which anyways never look that smooth as if they were rendered in a browser) -- I'm serious, what would be the advantage to stick to XAML except for porting existing apps?

[naunihalsidhu]

Would you bring the ability to migrate/upgrade existing Blazor webassembly app to HybridApp as well or we would have to redo everything again in Hybrid App?

[Courserasrikanthdrk]

, , i liked the car project thanks very much

[yudhibayu]

awesome, but for some security reason we still need signal R, where many local hosting not support signal R. I will wait until MAUI

[francescomantovanelli]

Where I found specific OS command es. for dialog, command shell etc?

[khalednabilcs]

This is might sound crazy 😃 but can we minify the C# dll 😎?

[rayfan]

How do I get that auto rebuild and auto refresh happen? Do I need to install any VS extensions?

[MegaKlintan]

I am considering hybrid for migrating an existing monolithic WPF app towards a microservice architecture where at least some microservices should expose their own UI. Authentication is one issue, the WPF app authorizes users in Azure AD, we don't want another login in each microservice.

Why you chose that legacy control names from Xamarin? I mean StackLayout, Label and other staff invented in the times when Xamarin wasn't yet bought by Microsoft to bypass legal restrictions for APIs.

[Tymonello]

Can a .NET hybrid app work offline and send data to a server after it gets online?
