DevExpress MVVM Library for .NET MAUI
- 2 minutes to read
The DevExpress MAUI MVVM Library helps you to implement the MVVM pattern in a MAUI application. The library is based on the .NET Community Toolkit.
Review our demo app on GitHub to try out the DevExpress MAUI MVVM Library:
MVVM Pattern
The Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) architectural design pattern divides your application into three layers:
- Model
- Data and business logic.
- View
- Markup and code-behind that define UI layouts and bind individual elements to ViewModel properties and commands.
- ViewModel
- Logic that connects the View and Model.
The diagram below illustrates these layers and how they are relevant to each other.
Refer to the following article for more information on MVVM and its benefits: The MVVM Pattern.
DevExpress .NET MAUI Controls support the MVVM design pattern. You can use DevExpress MAUI MVVM Library and DevExpress .NET MAUI Controls independently.
