G'day Everyone,

We are now on the downhill slope towards MUAI releases and you can really see it in the number of MAUI related articles that are starting to appear.

Here in Melbourne we are back in Lockdown, but that just means, more time to dig into the articles.

Take care and have a lovely week

Convert Xamarin.Forms Converters to .NET MAUI

Suppose you want to define a data binding where the source property is of type int but the target property is bool. You want this data binding to produce a false value when the entire font equals 0 and true otherwise. You can do this with a class that implements the IValueConverterinterface. Like other Xamarin.Forms concepts, Converters can be reused in .NET MAUI without requiring code changes.

Convert Xamarin.Forms Behaviors to .NET MAUI

Behaviors enable you to add functionality to UI controls without having to subclass them. Instead, the function is implemented in a Behavior class and associated with the control as if it were part of it. In .NET MAUI there is exactly the same concept, allowing you to reuse code in a simple way.

Convert Xamarin.Forms Triggers to . NET MAUI

Triggers enable you to express actions declaratively in XAML that change the appearance of controls based on events or property changes. In addition, state triggers, which are a specialized group of triggers, define when a VisualState should be applied. As a general rule, all XAML-related concepts in Xamarin.Forms will work without requiring changes to .NET MAUI.

Easy Xamarin Forms Auth with PKCE

OAuth 2.0 is a protocol that controls authorization to access a secured resource such as a native app, web app, or API server. For native applications, the recommended method for controlling access between your application and a resource server is the Authorization Code flow with a Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE). In this article, you will learn how to build a basic cross-platform application with Xamarin.Forms and implement Authorization Code flow with PKCE using Okta Xamarin SDK.
