.Net Multi-Platform App UI - Designing Registration Form

In this tutorial series, we will see the basic layout of sign-up screen using the MAUI controls in Visual Studio 2022 on Windows, or Visual Studio 2022 for Mac 17.4 Preview.

Project Setup

To create .NET MAUI apps, we need the latest Visual Studio 2022 installed with .NET Multi-platform App UI development workload with its default optional installation options in our PC or mac machine.

Launch Visual Studio 2022, and in the start window click Create a new project to create a new project.

In the Create a new project window, select MAUI in the All project types drop-down, select the .NET MAUI App template, and click the Next button:

In the Configure your new project window, name your project, choose a suitable location for it, and click the Next button:

In the Additional information window, click the Create button,

 

Once the project is created, we can able to see the Android, iOS, Windows and other running options in the toolbar. Press the emulator or run button to build and run the app,
