How do you build a data entry form in MAUI?

Beginner

Answer

Compose Entry, Editor, Picker, DatePicker, TimePicker, Switch, and Stepper controls in a layout, bind each to view-model properties (two-way), and bind a submit Button to a command. Set keyboard types and placeholders to guide input. Keep validation and submission logic in the view model.
<Entry Placeholder="Name" Text="{Binding Name}" />
<DatePicker Date="{Binding BirthDate}" />
<Switch IsToggled="{Binding AcceptsTerms}" />
<Button Text="Submit" Command="{Binding SubmitCommand}" />
Real-world example A registration form binds each field to the view model and disables Submit until required fields are filled.
