Adding VS2022 support for the Rapid XAML Toolkit is going to be very complicated and unlikely to be something that will happen quickly, even though I'd like it to and it would be good to get MAUI support in ASAP.

@scottkuhl Also note (as you're adding the same link to Mads's videos on multiple issues, it may be desirable to also like to https://youtu.be/L8b3kFriwCs)

@mrlacey Hello, I would like to ask if there was any progress, considering the stable release of VS2022 is finally out.

@mrlacey Hello, I would like to ask if there was any progress, considering the stable release of VS2022 is finally out.

delays are primarily due to extended periods of unemployment and illness. Now I'm slowly getting back towards normal I'm focusing my time on things that will hopefully lead to continuing to pay my mortgage. There are lots of open-source projects I'd like to be working on but very limited mental energy to do so.
Getting this to work on VS2022 will be a lot of effort. To help move it up my internal priority list, it would be good to know which features you're using or most interested in as it may be possible to move things over a bit at a time. If you want one of the easy bits then that could happen sooner.

@mrlacey I am sorry to hear that and I sincerely hope you will get better soon.

As to the features I am using the most, that would be the drag-n-drop of classes to xaml. WPF mostly, but Uno and avalonia would be nice as well.

I am honestly surprised you even found time to reply in your situation, so once again I hope you get everything in order soon. This project will not go anywhere

@Luk164 thanks for the wishes.
Sadly, the generation of XAML is based on an old version of the Roslyn libraries and they've introduced many breaking changes since originally written. I looked at updating them previously and it's not going to be simple (or quick) 😢
