How to add new page on visual studio for Mac 2022

Answer 1

Hello @Sergio Daniel Toro Romero ,

VS for mac MAUI tooling is still under preview, some file templates are not ready yet. If you want to create a page, try to create a class inherited from ContentPage, refer to the following code :

 public class MyPage : ContentPage  
 	 {  
 	     public MyPage ()  
       {  
           Content = new StackLayout{  
  	             Children ={  
  	                 ......  
    	             }  
   	         };  
   	     }  
   	 }  

If you want to create a page with Xaml, try to create an empty file named MyPage.xaml, and add the control element, refer to the following code:

<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"  
	  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"  
	  x:Class="XXX.MyPage">  
	 <ContentPage.Content>  
	     <StackLayout>...  
	 </StackLayout>  
	 </ContentPage.Content>  
	 </ContentPage>  

Then add an empty class as partial class of this page, and implement InitializeComponent() method, note that the class file is named MyPage.xaml.cs :

namespace xxx  
	  {  
	       public  partial class MyPage : ContentPage  
         {  
             public MyPage()  
             {  
                 InitializeComponent();  
             }  
         }  
     }
