    @Vishnu Gopalakrishnan , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

    Does .net6.0 support xaml island?

    No, based on my test, It will throw the error when I installed the nuget-package Microsoft.Toolkit.Forms.UI.Controls and rebuild the project in .NET 6.0 winform project.

    Error:

    If I changed .NET Framework to .net core 3.1, it rebuilds well without the error.

    Therefore, it is not supported in .net 6.0.

    Hope this could help you.

    Best Regards,
    Jack

    No, as the doc says :

    Using XAML Islands (wrapped controls or WindowsXamlHost) to host UWP XAML controls is supported only in apps that target .NET Core 3.x. XAML Islands are not supported in apps that target .NET, or in apps that target any version of the .NET Framework.

    There is XAML Islands for .NET 5, but I did not test it
