Convert to Visual Studio extension #1

Open MagicAndre1981 opened 1 month ago

Can you please convert it to a Visual studio extension, read the open xaml file and render it inside the IDE?

MagicAndre1981 commented 1 month ago

you could use the Community.VisualStudio.Toolkit to develop the extension easier.

@MagicAndre1981 : It looks like the Toolkit supports only WPF controls, not sure how we will be able to render MAUI components inside WPF.

ok, I just see that XAML island only works for WinUI2 and not for WinUI3.

I'll leave it open if there are changes in MAUI/WinUI3 that allow this.

one of the MAUI devs played a bit with adding WPF as MAUI platform:
