Migrate from Xamarin.Forms SfDigitalGauge to .NET MAUI SfDigitalGauge

To make the migration from the Xamarin SfDigitalGauge to the .NET MAUI SfDigitalGauge easier, most of the similar APIs from the Xamarin SfDigitalGauge were kept in the .NET MAUI SfDigitalGauge. Also, the APIs has been restructured by considering various use cases and maintaining API consistency. Please find the difference in the following topics.

Initialize control

To initialize the control, import the gauge namespace and initialize SfDigitalGauge as shown in the following code sample.

Xamarin SfDigitalGauge .NET MAUI SfDigitalGauge 
<ContentPage
    xmlns:gauge="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.SfGauge.XForms;assembly=Syncfusion.SfGauge.XForms">

        <gauge:SfDigitalGauge/>

</ContentPage>
using Syncfusion.SfGauge.XForms;
...

SfDigitalGauge digitalGauge = new SfDigitalGauge();
this.Content = digitalGauge;
 
<ContentPage
    xmlns:gauge="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Gauges;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Gauges">

        <gauge:SfDigitalGauge/>

</ContentPage>
using Syncfusion.Maui.Gauges;
...

SfDigitalGauge digitalGauge = new SfDigitalGauge();
this.Content = digitalGauge;
