.net 8 MAUI confusion

[sisaacks]

So I looked through the github examples for setting up .net MAUI configuration.
When I get to a class to use the logger there are issues

The first thing I notices is MetroLog.MAUI is not the the using statement its using MetroLog but the examples are showing MetroLog.MAUI

Second thing I noticed is to do the following ILogger _logger I have to add the extension using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
and Using MetroLog is now unused. So I am absolutely confused if I am using MetroLogger or Microsoft.Extensions.Logging?

I am not sure if I have set something up wrong, but I have watched a video from Gerald Versluis and I looked through github examples. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

You can you use either standard or Microsoft extensions.
If ytou use standard you instanciate your Logger with logger manager static factory, if you use MS you inject in the constructor.
If you use standard you will write using MetroLog, is you use MS you will write using MS.Ext.Logging

you can't, if you using MS Extensions it's injection. Or make some search about MS Extenstions without using DI. If you use MS Extensions metrolog is totally abstracted in the MS Extensions logging.

@roubachof I rang a google search after I typed the question to you, the answer is the make your base class and abstract class and pass the logger down through the constructor. I made a sample test app to ensure it worked.

and ? so do that ! I'm sorry but I am so confused with what you are struggling :)
