This article guides you on how to center align tabs in .NET MAUI Tab View for Windows and Mac platforms. To customize the placement of tabs to the center of the Windows and Mac screens, set TabWidthMode to SizeToContent and adjust TabHeaderPadding dynamically based on the screen’s width. Below is a code snippet demonstrating this approach. XAML <tabView:SfTabView TabWidthMode="SizeToContent"> <!-- Tab View Content --> </tabView:SfTabView> C# public partial class MainPage : ContentPage { public MainPage() { InitializeComponent(); } protected override void OnAppearing() { base.OnAppearing(); #if WINDOWS var window = GetParentWindow().Handler.PlatformView as MauiWinUIWindow; if (window != null) { UpdateTabHeaderPadding(window.Bounds.Width); } #elif MACCATALYST var macWindow = GetParentWindow().Handler.PlatformView as UIWindow; if (macWindow != null) { UpdateTabHeaderPadding(macWindow.Bounds.Width); } #endif } #if WINDOWS || MACCATALYST protected override void OnSizeAllocated(double width, double height) { base.OnSizeAllocated(width, height); UpdateTabHeaderPadding(width); } private void UpdateTabHeaderPadding(double width) { double totalTabWidth = 0; foreach (var tabItem in tabView.Items) { if (tabItem is Syncfusion.Maui.TabView.SfTabItem tabItemView) { totalTabWidth += tabItemView.Measure(double.PositiveInfinity, double.PositiveInfinity).Request.Width; } } double remainingSpace = ((width - totalTabWidth)); double padding = (remainingSpace / 2) ; tabView.TabHeaderPadding = new Thickness(padding, 0, 0, 0); } #endif } The TabWidthMode is set to SizeToContent so that each tab’s width is adjusted based on its content. The method UpdateTabHeaderPadding calculates the total width of all the tab items and dynamically adjusts the left padding of the tab headers to center them based on the screen width.

The Syncfusion® HTML to PDF converter for .NET Core is a powerful library for transforming webpages, SVG, MHTML, and HTML content into PDF documents. By employing the Linux HTML converter within a Windows Docker environment, developers can achieve reliable HTML to PDF conversions seamlessly. This guide provides a step-by-step approach to performing these conversions in a Windows Docker container.Prerequisites: Docker for Windows: Download Docker for Windows from docker.com. Switching Containers: Use the Docker for Windows menu to toggle between Windows and Linux containers as needed, selecting "Switch to Windows containers" for this specific guide.Steps to convert HTML to PDF in windows docker container programmatically:1.Create an ASP.NET Core MVC Application: Initiate a project using ASP.NET Core Model-View-Controller pattern. 2. Enable Docker support and select Windows as the target operating system. 3. Install Syncfusion Package: Add Syncfusion.HtmlToPdfConverter.Net.Windows from NuGet as a project reference. Be aware that Microsoft’s ASP.NET Core Docker image on nanoserver is lightweight but lacks some Windows APIs; it supports 64-bit applications only, which might affect compatibility with certain wrappers. Add a new button in index.cshtml as follows.4. Add PDF Conversion Functionality: Insert the following element in index.cshtml.<h2>Click the button to generate PDF</h2> @using (Html.BeginForm("ExportToPDF", "Home", FormMethod.Post)) { <input type="submit" value="Export to PDF" /> }5. Implement the Conversion Logic in the Controller: Include the required namespaces:C#using Syncfusion.Pdf; using Syncfusion.HtmlConverter;6. Add the conversion code snippet in HomeController.cs.C#public IActionResult ExportToPDF() { // Initialize the HTML to PDF converter HtmlToPdfConverter htmlConverter = new HtmlToPdfConverter(); // Convert the specified URL to a PDF document PdfDocument document = htmlConverter.Convert("https://www.syncfusion.com"); // Create a memory stream to hold the PDF data MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(); // Save the PDF document to the memory stream document.Save(stream); // Return the PDF file as a downloadable response return File(stream.ToArray(), System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Application.Pdf, "Sample.pdf"); }7.Build and Run the Application: Deploy the application in Docker, which will open the webpage in a browser. Use the "Export to PDF" button to perform the conversion. Take a moment to peruse the documentation for converting HTML to PDF, where you will find other options like HTML string to PDF, partial webpage to PDF, HTML to single PDF page, and HTML to PDF conversion using IE Rendering with code examples.A complete work sample can be downloaded from HTMLToPDF_WindowsDocker.zipConclusionI hope you enjoyed learning about how to convert HTML to PDF in windows docker container in ASP.NET Core PDF.You can refer to our ASP.NET Core PDF feature tour page to know about its other groundbreaking feature representations and documentation, and how to quickly get started for configuration specifications.

C# private Button btnCreate; private Label label; private void InitializeComponent() { btnCreate = new Button(); label = new Label(); //Label label.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 40); label.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(426, 35); label.Text = "Click the button to view PDF file generated by Essential PDF"; label.TextAlign = System.Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter; //Button btnCreate.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(180, 110); btnCreate.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(85, 26); btnCreate.Text = "Create PDF"; btnCreate.Click += new EventHandler(btnCreate_Click); //Create PDF ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(450, 150); Controls.Add(label); Controls.Add(btnCreate); Text = "Create PDF"; } VB.NET Private label As Label Private WithEvents btnCreate As Button Private Sub InitializeComponent() label = New Label() btnCreate = New Button() 'Label label.Location = New Drawing.Point(0, 40) label.Size = New Drawing.Size(426, 35) label.Text = "Click the button to view PDF file generated by Essential PDF" label.TextAlign = Drawing.ContentAlignment.MiddleCenter 'Button btnCreate.Location = New Drawing.Point(180, 110) btnCreate.Size = New Drawing.Size(85, 26) btnCreate.Text = "Create PDF" 'Create PDF ClientSize = New Drawing.Size(450, 150) Controls.Add(btnCreate) Controls.Add(label) Text = "Create PDF" End Sub Add the following code in btnCreate_Click to create a PDF file with simple text.

From 16.1.0.24 and higher versions of Essential Studio release, the PDF viewer control provides a robust rendering of PDF document using Pdfium rendering engine. You can use Pdfium rendering to Export the PDF documents to images in the ASP.NET platform using the Syncfusion.PdfViewer.Windows reference. The steps to use Pdfium rendering are as follows: 1. Copy the Pdfium assembly’s folder to a local folder from the installation path. The folder name must be “Pdfium”. The Pdfium assemblies will be available in {$SystemDrive}:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\{Essential Studio version}\Pdfium The Pdfium folder contains two folders namely X86 and X64, and both contains pdfium.dll assembly for the respective architecture. The Syncfusion PDF viewer is designed to detect the architecture of the target machine in which it is deployed and pick corresponding pdfium.dll to use it. 2. Then, the ReferencePath property of the PDF viewer should be set to locate the “Pdfium” folder.The following code snippet illustrates how to export the PDF document into images using the PDFium. string mappath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Data/Sample.pdf"); PdfViewerControl viewer = new PdfViewerControl(); //Set the reference path of Pdfium assemblies viewer.ReferencePath = "D:/"; //Set the rendering engine of PDF viewer to Pdfium viewer.RenderingEngine = PdfRenderingEngine.Pdfium; //Load the PDF document viewer.Load(mappath); string imagePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Images/"); Bitmap[] img = viewer.ExportAsImage(0, viewer.PageCount - 1); for (int i = 0; i < img.Length; i++) { img[i].Save(imagePath + "\\Image" + i + ".png"); } Sample link: https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/PdfViewerWeb_pdfium1045004189 Here is the User Guide documentation of Syncfusion PDF Viewer in ASP.NET Web Forms.
