# Getting Started with .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid App

This section explains how to create and run a .NET Multi-platform Blazor App UI (.NET MAUI with Blazor Hybrid App) using Syncfusion<sup style="font-size:70%">&reg;</sup> Blazor Spreadsheet component.

## What is a .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid App?

A .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid App is a .NET MAUI application where a Blazor Web App is hosted in the .NET MAUI app using the BlazorWebView control. This enables a Blazor Web App to integrate with platform features and UI controls. The BlazorWebView can be added to any page of a .NET MAUI app and pointed to the root of the Blazor app. The Blazor components run in the .NET process and render the web UI to an embedded web view control. .NET MAUI Blazor apps can run on all platforms supported by .NET MAUI.

Visual Studio provides the **.NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid App** template to create .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid Apps.
This section explains how to create and run a .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid application using the [Syncfusion® Blazor Spreadsheet](https://www.syncfusion.com/blazor-components/blazor-spreadsheet) component.

## Prerequisites

- .NET SDK 8.0 or above
- Visual Studio 2022 17.1 or above with the required workloads:
- [Mobile development with .NET](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/get-started/installation?view=net-maui-10.0&tabs=visual-studio)
- ASP.NET and web development

## Create a new .NET MAUI Blazor App in Visual Studio
To use the .NET MAUI project templates, install the Mobile development with .NET workload for Visual Studio. For installation details, see the Microsoft documentation: [Install .NET MAUI](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/MAUI/get-started/installation?tabs=vswin).

Create a **.NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid App** using Visual Studio via [Microsoft Templates](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor/hybrid/tutorials/maui?view=aspnetcore-8.0).

## BlazorWebView in .NET MAUI Blazor App
Create a **Blazor MAUI App** using Visual Studio via [Microsoft Templates](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor/hybrid/tutorials/maui?view=aspnetcore-8.0).

The above steps create a multi-targeted .NET MAUI Blazor app that can be deployed to Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows.

In `MainPage.xaml`, the `BlazorWebView` is added and points to the root of the Blazor app. The root Blazor component for the app is in `Routes.razor`, which Razor compiles into a type named `Routes` in the application’s root namespace.
