Exploring the Uno Platform: Handling Unsafe Code in Multi-Target Applications
This weekend I experimented with the Uno platform, a multi-OS UI framework for developing mobile, desktop, web, and Linux applications from a single codebase. While Uno’s concept is excellent, its tooling previously had stability issues after Visual Studio updates. Surprisingly, I found setup now works effortlessly on both my ARM-based Surface laptop and x64 MSI computer. However, when compiling demo applications, I encountered issues with unsafe code generation. The solution involves uncommenting the
State Machines and Wizard Components: A Clean Implementation Approach
This article explores implementing wizard components using state machine architecture. By separating UI from logic, developers can create cleaner, more maintainable multi-step forms. The approach centralizes state control through a WizardStateMachineBase class that manages page transitions, significantly simplifying development challenges and creating extensible interfaces that enhance user experience by limiting decisions at each step.
