Building Blazor Desktop Apps with Electron.NET

Building Blazor Desktop Apps with Electron.NET. This article illustrates how you can use Electron.NET to create various Blazor desktop applications. NET will give us a more reliable way to develop web-like desktop apps to any desktop. How you can use Electron.NET to create various Blazor desktop applications.

I wrote about using the open-source tool  Electron.NET to implement cross-platform desktop applications for Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms in a previous  blog post. By providing a wrapper around a standard Electron application with an embedded ASP.NET Core website, Electron.NET allows C## developers to target multiple platforms without coding in JavaScript.

This blog post illustrates how you can apply the same techniques to create Blazor desktop applications. Topics covered include:

• Modifying the default Blazor Server application to use Electron.NET
• Using Visual Studio Code to debug Blazor pages
• Implementing native UI elements such as message boxes
• Adding third-party Blazor controls
• Building deployment media for other platforms

Background

Electron is a framework that supports the development of desktop applications using web technologies such as the Chromium rendering engine and the Node.js runtime. Supported operating systems include Windows, macOS, and Linux. It leverages familiar standards such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Electron.NET allows .NET developers to invoke native Electron APIs using C#. It consists of two components:

• A NuGet package that adds Electron APIs to an ASP.NET Core or Blazor project.
• A .NET Core command-line extension that builds and launches applications for Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms.

Electron.NET requires the prior installation of the following software:

• Node.js
• .NET 5.0

Let's get started by building the canonical Blazor application from the command line.

In this article, we’ll discuss how to use jQuery Ajax for ASP.NET Core MVC CRUD Operations using Bootstrap Modal. With jQuery Ajax, we can make HTTP request to controller action methods without reloading the entire page, like a single page application.

In this blog post, I will share the Free e-book: Blazor for ASP.NET Web Forms Developers PDF. This book is great for ASP.NET Web Forms developers looking for guidelines. As well as strategies for migrating their existing apps to a modern, open-source, and cross-platform web framework.

Building a website is the first step in the path of a successful business. For web development, PHP and .Net are the foremost languages. If any company wants to succeed in the market, it needs to strengthen its digital presence. Though social media provides a place to gain some attention, it is impossible to create a brand without an official web page. This is why businesses hire firms offering web development services to get their website designed, which would enable them to get as much traction as possible.
