Building .NET Hybrid Apps with Blazor

[@ДамирКаражигитов]

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

[@lasindunuwanga5292]

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

[@lasindunuwanga5292]

@@internet4543 node? You mean both Node and .NET on server side. No did not know that. Plus, I think Blazor even replaces JS in front end. That is the main goal right?

Preach 🙏

[@leakyabstraction]

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

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 !

at 14:10: "Blazor Hybrid apps combine all the benefits of native apps. Blazor Components run natively on the device, they don't run in the browser and web assembly is not involved. Your components then render into an embedded web view control" Such a confusing set of statements. To paraphrase: - It doesn't run in a browser, but it actually it does. WebView Control is actually what a Browser uses as well. - "The components run natively". But actually they actually run an embedded browser and there's interop. Sounds a lot like Phonegap. Hate to break it to ya, just because its running in the phones "native browser" does not make it a native app. Don't get me wrong, I love Microsoft, always will , but contradictions and nonsense sound like smoke and mirrors.

[@bitzartdev]

very true

[@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?

[@buka.a]

This is gonna end Javascript frameworks in dotnet communities

[@user-hz1yc6cw6k]

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.

[@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!

[@makariyu69]

What sorcery is this

[@rayfan5648]

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

[@kristofszabo666]

Just go to the server folder of your project and in the terminal/PowerShell, and type: dotnet watch

[@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?

[@BinaryLizard]

at 18:50: 4 syntaxes in one file: Xaml, HTML, Razor and C#. Ouch.

[@BinaryLizard]

@@internet4543 Not remarking about separation of concerns in my UI layer. I’m remarking on 4 syntaxes in my UI layer, arguably competing to achieve the same goal.

[@BinaryLizard]

@@internet4543 Can you point me to the results of a survey where “most people who don’t find it ouch” ?

[@BinaryLizard]

@@internet4543 React is awesome. I’m a React developer after moving over from Xamarin. I prefer JSX , which allows for just 2 syntaxes in the same file. But from my initial remark, Xaml and HTML are both from the XML family, and both so the same thing : presentation.

[@BinaryLizard]

@@internet4543 You’re right there. I was tempted to go Angular/Typescript with Ionic for my mobile apps, but as you say, React has won the heats of most cross platform mobile devs. I’m not sure if Maui will win the Xamarin devs back from React. I think Maui is trying to be what Flutter is. But while Maui is running on the very slow Mono Runtime on Android , I can’t say I will be returning. It’s just embarrassingly slow and my clients complain about it. But each to their own. I think a developer’s existing skill set and apetite for a steep learning curve plays a big role in adoption.

[@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.

[@eduardomoraes2819]

Hi, I am a software engineer (embedded) who wants to learn more about .Net and web/mobile dev (front and back end) within the platform. What is the best way to start? Any online courses as well? Thanks!

[@khalednabilcs]

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

Great demo; really excited by this technology

[@Tymonello]

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

[@yudhibayu8834]

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

[@hfe1833]

So now Blazor and MAUI are doing the exact same thing? Doesn't give me warm and fuzzies starting a new project with Blazor or MAUI

[@BinaryLizard]

Exactly my thoughts. Too many competing technologies from their own stack. Don't forget Electron. All this fragmentation reminds me of the days when Microsoft at one stage had 4 different XAML schemes, none of them compatible: WPF, UWP, WinRT and Xamarin Forms

[@TheCodifier]

The difference between both is Blazor Hybrid is rendering the web app in a Blazor webview on the device while MAUI is actually rendering native components on the target device. For instance, on Windows, MAUI translates to WinUI while Blazor is running in a webview. Same principle on MacOS, iOS and Android. Blazor Hybrid is similar in principle to Cordova while MAUI is similar to React Native. Depending on the application, translating to native controls might give a faster and more responsive UI.

[@SuperGURU_Ben]

@@robertgreen2518 as far as I understood, if you migrate your app to windows forms .net 5, then you can use the hybrid approach. There is no one stopping you from using blazor webview in winforms AFAIK. So you could start changing one control at a time. That's how I understood it.
