A library to use Eto.Forms to develop cross-platform desktop ASP.NET Core Blazor Hybrid apps
This is a first attempt to support the BlazorWebView component in Eto.Forms. It's very rough, and there are likely bugs. So far, it is able to load the sample counter app, but hasn't been tested beyond that.
At best, this could only be a side project for me, so I'd be glad if any one would rather contribute or take over.
- Eto.Wpf - this wraps the official Wpf BlazorWebView control
- Eto.WinForms this wraps the official Windows Forms BlazorWebViewControl
- Eto.Mac (net6.0-macos only) - this uses a custom BlazorWebView implementation based on the official Maui iOS/macCatalyst control.
Eto.Gtk is not supported at the moment, because I really don't know what to do. Maybe follow these issues: 1, 2, 3
There is an example Eto.Forms app in the samples folder that shows how to load a simple Counter.razor file.
Note that for each platform, you need to make sure to hook to the platform specific control (BlazorWebView.IHandler) and the platform specific hook (IEtoBlazorWebViewAdder) to enable BlazorWebView support.
Adding the BlazorWebView control to an Eto.Forms control should be similar to following the instructions for building a Windows Forms Blazor app in Microsoft's documentation.
Official BlazorWebView components on Windows Forms, WPF, and Maui let you configure and accesss the internal webview during and after initialization of the control, but I haven't figured out the best way to do this using Eto.Forms' WebView control.
Probably some other things.
