Converting .NET Framework Project to .NET SDK Style

Learn how to convert a Xamarin.Forms project to .NET MAUI.

Xamarin.Forms was a predecessor of .NET MAUI. However, MAUI aims to completely replace it; therefore, it's important to know how to convert a Xamarin.Forms application to an MAUI application.

In this lesson, we'll cover the process of converting a Xamarin.Forms project file to an MAUI format. We'll demonstrate this with the help of the following setup. In this setup, we have two project folders: XamarinAppDemo and MauiConversionDemo. The XamarinAppDemo folder represents a multipart Xamarin.Forms application. It contains a project with Android-specific components and a project with cross-platform Xamarin.Forms components. The MauiConversionDemo project is a single-project MAUI application that was created by converting Xamarin.Forms project.
