.NET

When I created the !dotnetmaui@programming.dev Community, I was strongly encouraged to cross-post here. Fast-forward to now and we are getting the same or more engagement on the original posts there than the cross-posted content here, so I'm going to break free from the mothership now and stop cross-posting. To continue to get MAUI content make sure to follow and/or subscribe to the MAUI Community.

From now on there will be a new rule in this community, adopted from HackerNews:

Please submit the original source. If a post reports on something found on another site, submit the latter.

Have a good day!

Building UI in .NET MAUI with XAML continues to be the most popular approach. […] One of the downsides is how verbose it can become. […]

.NET 6 introduced global and implicit usings for C# which greatly reduced the using statements at the head of many C# files. Now in .NET 10 starting with Preview 5 we are introducing the same for XAML so you can declare your namespaces and prefixes in a single file and use them throughout. In fact, you can now omit the use of prefixes altogether!
