Prerequisites

Before adding the Border, you need to:

  1. Set up your .NET MAUI application.

  2. Download Telerik UI for .NET MAUI.

  3. Install Telerik UI for .NET MAUI.

Define the Control

1. When the your .NET MAUI application is set up, you are ready to add the Border control to your page by using its definition in XAML.

<telerik:RadBorder BorderColor="#4488F6" 
                   CornerRadius="5"
                   AutomationId="border"
                   BorderThickness="1">
    <Label Text="Hello there" Margin="20" />
</telerik:RadBorder>

2. Add the telerik namespace:

xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2022/xaml/maui"

3. Register the Telerik controls through the Telerik.Maui.Controls.Compatibility.UseTelerik extension method called inside the CreateMauiApp method of the MauiProgram.cs file of your project:

using Telerik.Maui.Controls.Compatibility;

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

        return builder.Build();
    }
}
