Yeah, unfortunately that stuff is almost impossible to estimate. Inform your client that fixing the build will be a game of whack-a-mole where you'll fix one thing and 5 new errors will show up. I would give yourself lots of time since you've never worked on Maui (? You didn't say that in your post but if you've never heard of xamarin, i'll assume maui is new).

I would break your work down into two milestones: a) compile and run, b) fix all the busted views. It should come to no surprise that a) will be hard to estimate so give yourself lots of time, and b) will be easier to estimate because you'll be able to review each View and determine what kind of fixes you need to make.

Good luck

Yes. The transition from Xamarin to Maui has been similar to transition from .net framework to .net core.

A few things you will run into:

  • namespaces have changed
  • certain things will be deprecated but still currently work (ie FillAndExpand)
  • platform specific setup has changed (you'll need to convert to the new way, but code will likely remain the same)
  • upgrade your nuget packages to the Maui equivalents (the ones we used had Maui versions so we didn't have to change any of them)
  • certain ways of doing things have change slightly, like how to run things on the main UI thread (you'll see warnings)
  • your xaml code will remain mostly unchanged but your layout may need to be fixed (especially if your dependencies changed their interfaces)

That's all I can think of right now. There's no easy way to do it and it's going to suck. Focus on getting it to build with all your dependencies upgraded and then go from there.

That means one of the options could be Trump's resignation. Right? Right?

Kind of a nothing burger.

These repositories, belonging to more than 16,000 organizations, were originally posted to GitHub as public, but were later set to private, often after the developers responsible realized they contained authentication credentials allowing unauthorized access or other types of confidential data. Even months later, however, the private pages remain available in their entirety through Copilot.

The repo was listed as public and archived. It's not clear from the article but I suspect that the "private" information is just a copy of what was made public and not the information added after it was made private.

I thought of Crysis also when I read the title. But first, I'm down for Quake and more specifically QuakeTF (team fortress). I spent way too much of my youth playing quake and qtf (honorable mention to UTF).

I read and upvoted this meme for the glory of the empire!

Is it from an old pic that happened to be good quality?

I'm not sure. It's not oc and I don't have source.

Sweet, can't wait. I was surprised to find out it's a series.

It's an alright service, I just wish they would have used/merged the same login for CBC and Radio-Canada content instead of 2 different sites with 2 different logins.

As for premium, I would also have preferred that they removed the ads in the "live feeds". I'd be fine with it just being a screen with the CBC logo and the text "Ad Break".

At least the pricing (6$ for Gem) seems fair.

He did get to know a few holelings, and they were very close to his heart.

 

Berríos will start for the Blue Jays on Opening Day, and Eflin will take the mound for the Rays as they host Toronto at 4:10 p.m. ET on March 28 at Tropicana Field. It will be the fourth Opening Day start for Berríos and the first for Eflin.

March 28th, I'm pumped, are you pumped?

 
 

Met a couple of really neat dudes at the store looking for parts for this guy. I really liked the uniqueness of it.

 

The government has announced that it has reached agreement with Google on deal that will ensure that news links are not blocked on the search engine and that the company pays $100 million to support the news sector in Canada.

 

Of course they would, what a crapshoot.

 
 

I'm new to whittling and these are the first things I completed that don't look like trash.

I followed one of those "make a fox" youtube guides for the first one.
