Updated on Jul 27, 2025

This section provides a quick overview for working with the SfBadgeView for .NET MAUI. Walk through the entire process of creating a real world of this control.

Creating an application using the .NET MAUI Badge View

Create a new .NET MAUI application in Visual Studio.
Syncfusion .NET MAUI components are available on nuget.org. To add SfBadgeView to your project, open the NuGet package manager in Visual Studio, search for Syncfusion.Maui.Core and then install it.

Register the handler

To use this control inside an application, you must register the handler for Syncfusion® core.


using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using Syncfusion.Maui.Core.Hosting;

namespace BadgeViewGettingStarted
{
    public static class MauiProgram
    {
        public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
        {
            var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
            builder
                .UseMauiApp<App>()
                .ConfigureSyncfusionCore()
                .ConfigureFonts(fonts =>
                {
                    fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Regular.ttf", "OpenSansRegular");
                    fonts.AddFont("OpenSans-Semibold.ttf", "OpenSansSemibold");
                });

#if DEBUG
            builder.Logging.AddDebug();
#endif

            return builder.Build();
        }
    }
}

Add a basic Badge View

Import the control namespace Syncfusion.Maui.Core in XAML or C# code.
Initialize the SfBadgeView control and Add text to Badge View using the BadgeText property.

<ContentPage   
    . . .
    xmlns:badgeView="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Core;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Core">

   <badgeView:SfBadgeView>        
    <badgeView:SfBadgeView BadgeText="20" />          
</badgeView:SfBadgeView>
</ContentPage>

using Syncfusion.Maui.Core;
. . .

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
       SfBadgeView badgeView = new SfBadgeView();
       //Adding text to the badge view.
       badgeView.BadgeText = "20";
       this.Content = badgeView;
    }
}
