OSS Spotlight - Build amazing cross-platform UI for .NET with Avalonia UI!

Enjoy!

Fantastic that Avalonia UI is recognised with a slot in the conference. It's the UI framework for us, all of us! For the devs who need something to work, anywhere, any OS,!

- Question for presenters and everyone else: - When should we use UnoPlatform or AvaloniaUI?
Thank you all!

That was so awesome!
And it makes sense for Avalonia and MAUI to combine effort.
Thank you for the amazing demo!

❤❤❤❤❤AvaloniaUI ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

At first I thought, what the hell? MAUI is great for creating an interface for anything. But Avalonia won my heart with this release. And what is wonderful is the joint love of Avalonia and MAUI. Love will save the world! Good luck, Avalonia team!😍

Maui Blazor Avalonia hybrid 🥵

Amazing, except the xaml. Can we get C# MVU for writing the UIs?

looks like true cross-platform UI (unlike MAUI), I can build for ChromeOS and Steam Deck too

I developing on C# from 2002. I was develop on Microsoft UI platforms such as Silverlight, UWP, WindowsPhone, Xamarin, and more and at the end they deprecated one after each other. From my point of view Avalonia is the best place for C# UI that you can bet on it. It grow up everyday and is safe for long life stability. It can run anywhere and it is pixel perfect. Thanks to Avalonia team to make this dream become true.

but but... what about MAUI?

Does Avalonia UI has access to native API for each platform like MAUI does? Like calling media, storage, communication native APIs?

This talk has got me excited to try this out!

Mike mentioned the Telegram channel Can you share a link to it?

I love Avalonia.

Great stuff! But how do you get the xaml previewer with VS2022 17.4 ARM?

Please stop juggling with GUI frameworks confusing everybody...

I had no idea about it.... I love it! Thanks!!

One can barely hear anything.

Does Avalonia have a control included or as a nuget that provides a tabbed document interface? Something like the file tabs in Visual Studio that you can drag around, arange horizontally or vertically, or have a floating windows. That's the main control that I'd need to replace in my WPF app before I could think about converting to Avalonia. I'm currently using the Exceed Avalon Dock control in WPF. I may also need a ribbon menu - currently using one that Microsoft probably forgot about. Thanks!

I'm developing with Avalonia UI since version 10.3 and I can confirm it "just" works. It's not a toy. Its a serious product and IMO the future of multiplatform UI specially for Desktop. Thanks Avalonia for such effort.

Why X11? We are now at the moment that next LTS distributions all will be Wayland based and X11 is considered like dead, so, why X11? PS: Wayland is so much better for embed.

It is fantastic. Trying it out for a mobile app.

When can we expect Avalonia to be ready for Web?
Official website saying, It is currently very early days and not ready for production seems.

It's been around for a decade? Why am I just now hearing about it??

Just an FYI: I've got my volume turned all the way up and can barely hear you.

I have a small problem with Avalonia, I cant localize string resources from my .resw files. What can I do to fix that?

Visual Basic wowed is all in 1991, with the ability to draw your GUI, and WinForms improved over the years where you could build very impressive desktop apps with C# without any UI code.

30 years on, I feel like we have gone backwards.

maui avalonia hybrid looks absolutely amazing.

The main disappointment for me in dontnet ecosystem was the lack got a cross-platform UI framework that supports Linux. MAUI got it worse. Then I found Avalonia UI, what a fantastic project. I want to thank everyone involved.

Volume is rather LOW, Product value is rather HIGH 👍

Why did he use Mac instead of windows
Is he working for Microsoft right ?

I like Avalonia. Syncfusion and other third party controls should make UI for this.🙏

oh boi yo can see the limitations of apple silicon armv8 SIMD when using parallels win11, the performance is outright garbage. Hopefully SVE2 changes this.

Maui Avalonia Hybrid would be interesting, since i prefer avaloniaui/flutter ui rendering.

just awesome!!!

Avalonia is awesome. But for now there are two things I miss:
1: I couldn't get my C-lib (.dll) running together with my Avalonia application, while it's working perfectly with WPF.
2: For my research project I need a 3D Plotter. There is a Helix.Toolkit based on DirectX 11 that also works perfectly with WPF, but it seems like there is nothing similar to it for Avalonia (in best case based on Vulkan)

What a gorgeous idea and presentation. Message was clear and well put through, it contained live coding. There were a points made and proven right after. Much appreciated. Thank for a great work. Will definitely try Avalonia out in upcoming projects.

X11 on Linux is going away. Are y'all working on switching to Wayland?

What about multiwindow and external child dialogue

PLEASE use microphone for BETTER audio!

This world is going to fast.

Cool Thanks 👍
