        Taking into account the upper described table, the following conclusion can be drawn:

        • .NET MAUI is suitable for projects that are intended to scale across several platforms (desktop and mobile) with a single shared codebase.
        • Blazor Hybrid is an option either for those organizations that transit their webs to desktops or for those developers who have web experience.
        • WinUI is the optimal selection for Windows-focused projects.

        What Our Experts Say

        Dmytro Chudov CEO & CTO
        Desktop applications are suitable for customers in cases when there is a need for offline solution access or integration with the hardware. Among the most obvious examples are POS solutions, kiosk apps, utility applications, CAD apps, software for manufacturing, and more. Desktop .NET developers hired from Chudovo can help in the implementation and support of the desktop solutions.

        The List of All .NET Desktop Development Options

        .NET MAUI
        Blazor Hybrid
        UWP
        WinUI
        .NET MAUI

        We provide cross-platform desktop app development with .NET MAUI for Windows and macOS, offering native UIs and a single code base.  MAUI offers a set of controls, cross-platform APIs, graphics functionality, several page types, data-binding support, handlers customization options, hot reload support, and more. 

        Blazor Hybrid

        We build the client-side part of the desktop app with Blazor Hybrid. Blazor Hybrid applications function as standard desktop applications that contain a Blazor web app within a web view control. Blazor applications can be integrated with .NET MAUI or built with WinForms or WPF.

        WinForms has a pre-set collection of controls, graphics, and drag-and-drop visual designer options. Earlier it was often used for the line of business (LOB) and utility applications. Currently, Windows forms are considered more outdated but there is a large amount of existing apps that are still functioning and used by businesses

        UWP

        Development using the Universal Windows Platform is appropriate for the client Windows 10 and 11 solutions as well as solutions for XBox, Surface Hub, and HoloLens. UWP apps have access to Windows APIs, can adapt user interfaces to different screen sizes, use the specific capabilities of the devices, are secure, can be published in Microsoft Store, can be integrated with Cortana, support touch inputs, and more.

        WinUI

        For the creation of desktop app we use WinUI, XAML-based UI layer that ships with the Windows App SDK and includes styles and controls for Windows. WinUI applies Fluent Design, enabling the building of modern solutions in compliance with the current trends.

        WPF is XAML-based framework that is a part of .NET with an ecosystem of third-party libraries and pre-set features like documents, media, styles, animation, graphics, templates, controls, data binding, media, typography, etc.
