Can I use Avalonia Like FastReport.net?
I have a WinForms desktop app that uses FastReport to show the user reports we designed.
In this case, my app supplies the report template and the report data to the FastReport classes and the user views the report in the application's windows (using a fast report WinForms control).
In need to do the same thing now in a .net maui application for Windows, Android and IOS.
Does Avalonia wotk this way? Some of the descriptions I was reading made it seem like it might be a web-based, not embedded in the app, solution

Avalonia is indeed more of a desktop UI framework, and while it can embed web views or render documents, it doesn’t provide a direct equivalent to the FastReport WinForms control. If your main need is a cross-platform report viewer, you might be better off checking whether FastReport has MAUI-compatible controls (which they do in recent builds). Alternatively, you could export your reports to PDF/HTML and then display them inside Avalonia.
