Electron.NET lets .NET developers build cross-platform desktop applications using Electron, hosting ASP.NET Core (Razor Pages, MVC) or Blazor UIs, or lightweight console apps. It wraps Electron's APIs in C# NuGet packages while preserving full API compatibility.
Use cases
- build cross-platform desktop apps with asp.net core
- wrap a blazor app as a native desktop application
- convert a .net web app into an electron desktop app
- use electron apis from c#
- package a razor pages mvc app for windows mac and linux
- build a lightweight desktop app without a local web server
When to choose
- your team knows .NET and wants Electron-style desktop apps without writing JavaScript
- you have an existing ASP.NET Core or Blazor app to turn into a desktop app
- you need cross-platform desktop distribution from a single C# codebase
When to avoid
- you want the smallest possible desktop app bundle - Electron ships Chromium and Node
- you need deep native platform integration beyond what Electron's API surface offers
- you prefer a pure JavaScript/TypeScript Electron workflow
