Covers creating gradient backgrounds using LinearGradientBrush and RadialGradientBrush without external images, structuring layouts with Grid, and generating a dynamic sign-up form using the Telerik UI for .NET MAUI DataForm component. The DataForm automatically generates and validates input fields based on model attributes, including masked password inputs. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I create a gradient background in .NET MAUI without using an image? Use LinearGradientBrush assigned directly to the Background property of a ContentPage. Define color stops with GradientStop elements to control the gradient transitions. For a circular glow effect behind an element, RadialGradientBrush can be layered inside a Grid before the target element. Both brushes give full control over colors and stops entirely in XAML, with no external image assets needed. _Developers building polished .NET MAUI UIs track component techniques like these on daily.dev._ ### How does Telerik DataForm in .NET MAUI automatically generate form fields? Telerik DataForm reads model properties decorated with data annotation attributes to automatically generate and validate UI fields. Define properties like email and password on a model class, mark them with attributes specifying display name, required status, and data type. Setting DataType to password masks input with asterisks. Assign a model instance to the page's BindingContext and add the DataForm to XAML — no manual field creation or basic validation logic needed. _Teams evaluating Telerik UI for .NET MAUI against other form libraries find comparisons and release notes on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Creating an Account UI in .NET MAUI](https://daily.dev/posts/creating-an-account-ui-in-net-maui-vbbd5dxzy) · Telerik · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Replicating a Valentine-Inspired Login UI in .NET MAUI](https://daily.dev/posts/replicating-a-valentine-inspired-login-ui-in-net-maui-ala2vyvwj) · Telerik · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Building a Healthcare UI with .NET MAUI](https://daily.dev/posts/building-a-healthcare-ui-with-net-maui-o7tclzhmy) · Telerik · 3 upvotes · 0 comments - [Building a Gated Multi-Step Wizard in .NET MAUI with Tab View](https://daily.dev/posts/building-a-gated-multi-step-wizard-in-net-maui-with-tab-view-uopputq4h) · Syncfusion · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Build Modern .NET MAUI Apps with .NET 11 \[Webinar Show Notes\]](https://daily.dev/posts/build-modern-net-maui-apps-with-net-11-webinar-show-notes--wlsnsznb2) · Syncfusion · 9 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#mobile](https://daily.dev/tags/mobile), [#.net](https://daily.dev/tags/.net), [#ui-design](https://daily.dev/tags/ui-design), [#xamarin](https://daily.dev/tags/xamarin), [#.net-maui](https://daily.dev/tags/.net-maui) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/building-an-onboarding-and-registration-ui-in-net-maui-nn1mqqmnj) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Building an Onboarding and Registration UI in .NET MAUI","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/building-an-onboarding-and-registration-ui-in-net-maui-nn1mqqmnj","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/building-an-onboarding-and-registration-ui-in-net-maui-nn1mqqmnj"},"datePublished":"2026-08-10T19:13:59.217Z","dateModified":"2026-08-10T19:14:25.719Z","description":"A step-by-step walkthrough for building a modern onboarding and registration UI in .NET MAUI.
