Many enterprise Xamarin apps still haven’t migrated to .NET MAUI — and the reasons are real. From conflicting Microsoft documentation to unsupported components, migration issues, and limited support, teams are facing serious blockers. MAUI is improving, but the migration path still needs clarity, stability, and better tooling.

Mastering Dependency Injection in .NET MAUI: The Complete Guide to Clean Architecture #dotnet #maui

Dharmendra Kumar — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 07:36:14 +0000

I’m pleased to share my latest technical deep dive on improving architecture and maintainability in .NET MAUI applications.

This video explains how Dependency Injection (DI) helps you write cleaner, more modular, and more testable applications. With the built-in Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection framework, .NET MAUI makes it straightforward to manage service lifetimes, reduce tight coupling, and improve scalability across platforms.

Key topics covered in the video:

The role of Dependency Injection in modern application architecture
Inversion of Control (IoC) and why it improves maintainability
How to configure MauiProgram.cs for centralized service registration
The difference between AddSingleton and AddTransient
Common DI pitfalls that can cause startup issues
Practical tips for applying DI in real-world .NET MAUI projects

This tutorial is useful for teams modernizing .NET applications or migrating from Xamarin.Forms. It provides practical, actionable patterns that align with enterprise engineering standards.

If your team is adopting .NET MAUI or upgrading your architecture, I am happy to discuss best practices and DI integration strategies.

GitHub Repo Finder

Dharmendra Kumar — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 07:30:31 +0000

I have developed small android app using Xamarin Forms and C# which provides facility to search and explore the git hub repositories through your mobile apps.
I have mainly used the git hub API to search the repositories and used the response to display in proper format.
Using this app, you can search the repository and it returns all the matched and displays 20 records per page and you can navigate back and forth using the pager.
When you search for the repository, it shows the details of the repo in the search result such as number of forks, number of bugs reported, number user starred this and the language.

When you open the repository, it displays the more details about the repository and from the detail page you can copy the clone and other URLs of that repository.

From the detail page you can open the repository and can explore the more detail about the repository.

This app is good for those who are preparing for the interviews. Many good users have created repository for the interview questions, so you can search with keywords like "Interview" or "java script interview questions" and you will get all those repositories and then can open the repositories and go through all the available questions.

The big advantage of this app is that it is "FREE" , Ad FREE and does not access any DATA FROM YOUR MOBILE . It only requires internet permission to get the details.

Download the app from below link and provide your valuable feedback so that I can improve your experience with this app.

Here are some screenshots of the app from the play store
