Brief summary of our plan and strategy

Our .NET MAUI controls are developed from scratch using the .NET MAUI graphics library and framework layouts.

We are working to deliver brand-new .NET MAUI controls to use in your migrated .NET MAUI projects with minimal breaking changes. The main reason we took this approach is to deliver .NET MAUI controls that are better than our Xamarin.Forms controls.

We are developing these controls from scratch with handler architecture to gain the following benefits:

  • Improved performance.
  • Lightweight controls by reducing views.
  • Intuitive API structure to make it easier to shape the control to your requirements.
  • Framework features such as animations, gradients, shadows, and more.
  • Improved accessibility and keyboard (shortcuts and navigation) support.

Along with these benefits, we are also planning to provide attractive demos that will cover some common use cases.
