Uno Platform Session: Performance Benefits of .NET 7 for Web Applications

Thursday, November 10th, 2022 – 5:30 pm EDT

We are most excited about .NET WebAssembly Exceptions and Threading support in .NET 7. Enabling WebAssembly exceptions in your projects allows your code to stay entirely in WebAssembly for exception handling, improving the performance as expensive JavaScript/Wasm boundary crossing is avoided. Also, the generated code size is smaller. In addition, Threading allows your Web Apps to perform expensive tasks off the UI thread and avoid freezing the UI.

See how our clients have been able to experience a 30%+ performance increase compared to the speedy .NET 6, and see how even Microsoft uses Uno Platform to power Windows Community Toolkit Labs, all using C# and XAML on the web.

About Uno Platform

For those new to Uno Platform – it allows for creation of pixel-perfect, single-source C# and XAML apps which run natively on Windows, iOS, Android, macOS, Linux and Web via WebAssembly. Uno Platform is free and Open Source (Apache 2.0) and available on GitHub.
