Creating Dynamic Tab Bars and Environment Deployments in .NET MAUI

Image
In this blog post, we will explore how to create dynamic tab bars in a .NET MAUI application and manage different deployment environments (Development, Staging, Production) using configuration files.  A special thank you to Gowtham Nagiri for inspiring this topic! Your insights have helped shape this exploration, and I appreciate your contribution to the .NET MAUI community. This approach allows your application to adapt to different environments without changing the codebase. Let's dive into the details! Understanding the Dynamic Tab Bars Dynamic tab bars enable you to display different tabs based on the application's current environment or other configurations. For example, in a Development environment, you might want to show additional features or diagnostic tabs that aren’t present in Production. This feature is particularly useful in mobile applications, where the user experience can be customized based on the environment in which the application is runnin...

C# 10 & 11: Unleash the Power of Records, Global Usings, Extended Patterns, and More!

Image
  Here are 5 of the latest C# tips, along with code examples: 1. Record Types (C# 10): Create lightweight, immutable data structures with concise syntax. Useful for representing data without the overhead of full-fledged classes. C# record Point ( int X , int Y ); Point p = new Point( 5 , 10 ); // Create a record instance Console.WriteLine(p.X); // Access record members 2. Global Using Directives (C# 10): Reduce repetitive using statements in multiple files. Improve code readability and maintainability. C# // In a global using file: global using System.Collections.Generic; global using System.Linq; // In other files: List< int > numbers = new List< int >(); int sum = numbers.Sum(); // No need for local using statements 3. Extended Property Patterns (C# 11): Match and deconstruct properties for more flexible pattern matching. Useful for data extraction and transformation. C# Point p = new Point( 5 , 10 ); if (p is { X: var ...
