Markup Extensions - Advanced Topics In .Net Maui

Learn to create and use Markup Extensions to optimize XAML code, design visual effects, and develop professional apps

What you'll learn

Understand what Markup Extensions are and how they process XAML strings to obtain values that can be assigned to control properties in .NET MAUI.

Master the use of existing Markup Extensions, such as StaticExtension, to access static properties, fields, and enumerations from XAML.

Create custom Markup Extensions by implementing IMarkupExtension to simplify repetitive XAML code and add reusable functionality.

Develop a practical image filter application that uses Markup Extensions to apply gradients and visual effects to photos taken with the camera.

Requirements

Basic programming knowledge in C#

Familiarity with XAML and .NET MAUI

Visual Studio 2022 installed with the Mobile Development workload

Basic understanding of graphical interfaces and UI controls

Description

Unlock the power of Markup Extensions in .NET MAUI and take your mobile applications to the next level. In this hands-on course, you will learn how to simplify and optimize your XAML code while developing advanced features for your apps.We’ll start by understanding what Markup Extensions are and how they work internally in .NET MAUI. You'll learn to use existing extensions like StaticExtension to access static properties and fields, enhancing your code's maintainability.The core of the course focuses on creating custom Markup Extensions. We’ll implement the IMarkupExtension interface to develop extensions that solve specific problems, such as automatically generating gradients and visual effects.Everything you learn will be applied to building a photo filter application. You'll create an app that allows users to take photos, apply visual effects using gradients, and efficiently manage the user interface with Markup Extensions.The course includes:Fundamentals of Markup ExtensionsUsing StaticExtensionCreating custom extensionsImplementing IMarkupExtensionDeveloping a photo filter appOptimization techniques and best practicesBy the end of the course, you’ll be able to create professional-grade Markup Extensions that enhance the quality and maintainability of your .NET MAUI applications. What are you waiting for to improve your .NET MAUI skills? See you in the course!
