Home Archive Android Widgets, C# 14, and .NET 10 in AWS Lambda – .NET News Daily Issue #373 (Jan 20, 2026)

Editor's note

I pulled together a pretty varied mix this time: mobile, language updates, runtime news, and practical how-tos. The MAUI Android widgets piece is a nice hands-on example, and the C# 14 extension members post is a good look at where the language is headed. I also included the AWS Lambda runtime update because it has immediate deployment impact for teams shipping on .NET 10.
