[XAML] Tip of the day : #region
Hi Developpers !
It’s been a long time since I wrote an article.
But it’s time to get back on track!
And to start with, I’m going to present you a XAML feature that I missed during all these years.
“#region” in C#, we all know, It has good and bad sides.
Well I can tell you that you can do the same thing in XAML.
There are plenty of different opinions on this. Personally, I find regions quite useful if used with parsimony. Especially when discovering code from a colleague or some old code from me.
💡 If you need to group some parts of your code using regions, it’s probably time for some refactoring.
Let me show you what happens with some code :
<!--#region Header part--> <Label Grid.Row="0" FontSize="32" HorizontalOptions="Center" SemanticProperties.HeadingLevel="Level1" Text="Hello, World!" /> <Label Grid.Row="1" FontSize="18" HorizontalOptions="Center" SemanticProperties.Description="Welcome to dot net Multi platform App U I" SemanticProperties.HeadingLevel="Level1" Text="Welcome to .NET Multi-platform App UI" /> <!--#endregion--> <!--#region Footer part--> <Label x:Name="CounterLabel" Grid.Row="2" FontAttributes="Bold" FontSize="18" HorizontalOptions="Center" Text="Current count: 0" /> <!--#endregion-->
Shows grouped as :

The tooltip is always there to give us information within the region if necessary

The xaml regions obviously work with UWP , WPF , Xamarin.Forms , MAUI etc …
Happy to be back 😎
It is with great pleasure that I was able to take the time to write a few lines.
I look forward to seeing you in a future article
Good development
