Userware has released OpenSilver 3.3, an update to the open-source framework for building cross-platform applications using C# and XAML. OpenSilver 3.3 lets Blazor components for web development run directly inside XAML applications, streamlining the process of running these components.
Userware unveiled OpenSilver 3.3 on January 27. OpenSilver SDKs for Microsoft’s Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code can be downloaded from opensilver.net.
With the Blazor boost in OpenSilver 3.3, Blazor components run directly inside an XAML visual tree, sharing the same DOM and the same runtime. Developers can drop a MudBlazor data grid, a DevExpress rich text editor, or any Blazor component directly into their XAML application without requiring JavaScript bridges or interop wrappers, according to Userware. Because OpenSilver runs on WebAssembly for browsers and .NET MAUI Hybrid for native apps, the same code deploys to Web, iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux.
