• Custom styling: Developers can apply custom styles to match the app’s theme or branding.

Enhanced DataGrid features

The .NET MAUI DataGrid control gets smarter and more interactive in this release, making data entry and navigation smoother than ever. It will deliver the following new user-friendly features:

Add new row: Allows users to insert new rows interactively at the top or bottom of the DataGrid. It supports default values, enhancing the user input experience and data entry.

Tooltip: This feature provides contextual hints when users hover or long-press on cells.

Kanban

The .NET MAUI Kanban will allow users to:

• Custom data mapping lets you bind your own data models to Kanban fields, making it easy to generate cards based on your app’s structure.
• Kanban column customization allows you to style columns with custom backgrounds, placeholders, and templates, including for empty columns.

Scheduler

Managing appointments and resources is now more intuitive with the new horizontal resource view in .NET MAUI Scheduler, perfect for team-based scheduling.

Horizontal resource view

The scheduler’s day, week, and work week views support a horizontal resource view that groups appointments by resource and date, enabling clear visualization and efficient management of resource-specific schedules.

Sunburst Chart

Visualizing hierarchical data becomes more interactive with new selection and drill-down capabilities.

• Selection: The segment selection functionality allows users to interactively highlight individual segments with customizable brushes, opacity, and stroke settings.

Toolbar

The Toolbar selection modes feature in .NET MAUI allows users to interact with toolbar items using flexible selection behaviors. You can enable single selection to allow only one item to be active at a time, or single deselection to let users clear the current selection. For more advanced scenarios, multiple selection lets users choose several items simultaneously, enhancing control and customization.
