Welcome to Avalonia.Samples. This is a collection of minimal samples, which should make it easy for everyone to get started with Avalonia. Each sample is focusing on only one aspect of Avalonia.
If you have feedback, questions or suggestions feel free to contact us via:
Or file a new bug-report or feature request in the Issues-section.
Every sample can be found in its own sub-folder and can run without any reference to another sample. Nevertheless we have a *.sln-file which has all projects in one solution, if you are looking for a complete collection of samples.
You can find the list of samples below. The samples are structured in different categories and difficulties. For better search results, each sample is also tagged with some buzz-words.
In every sample folder you will find a README-file, which describes the sample in detail and, if applicable, has links to further information and documentation.
Each sample is tagged with its difficulty. The degree of difficulty describes how much base-knowledge a user should have.

❗ | If you change the difficulty or the buzz-words, remember to also update the main page. |
Add a new Project to the Solution:
src ► Avalonia.Samples ► Avalonia.Samples.slnIn the root directory of the new sample add a
README-file. We highly suggest using a template which you can find here:AsciiDoc-Template: If you want to provide richer content, we suggest using the ascii-doc-template.
Markdown-Template: If you prefer not to use AsciiDoc, you can instead use the Markdown-template.
