This section provides a quick overview for working with the SfGridSplitter for .NET MAUI. Walk through the entire process of creating a real-world user profile dashboard with resizable panes.
- Create a new .NET MAUI application in Visual Studio.
- Syncfusion .NET MAUI components are available on nuget.org. To add SfGridSplitter to your project, open the NuGet package manager in Visual Studio, search for Syncfusion.Maui.GridSplitter and then install it.
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 GridSplitterGettingStarted
{
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();
}
}
}- Import the control namespace
Syncfusion.Maui.GridSplitterin XAML. - Initialize the

using Syncfusion.Maui.GridSplitter;

{
public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
SfGridSplitter gridSplitter = new SfGridSplitter();
SplitterPane pane1 = new SplitterPane
{
Content = new Label
{
Text = "Pane 1"
}
};
SplitterPane pane2 = new SplitterPane
{
Content = new Label
{
Text = "Pane 2"
}
};
gridSplitter.AddPane(pane1);
gridSplitter.AddPane(pane2);
Content = gridSplitter;
}
}
}
The SplitterPane collection allows you to organize content into multiple resizable panes. In this example, the GridSplitter is used to build a user profile dashboard where users can resize the User List, Profile Details, and Recent Activity sections at runtime.
