Avalonia Layout and Virtualization

Start with:

  • ../../references/30-layout-measure-arrange-and-custom-layout-controls.md
  • ../../references/21-custom-layout-authoring.md
  • ../../references/20-itemscontrol-virtualization-and-recycling.md

Load these when scrolling or templates are involved:

  • ../../references/57-scrollviewer-offset-anchoring-and-snap-points.md
  • ../../references/38-data-templates-and-idatatemplate-selector-patterns.md

Workflow

  1. Define layout contract first: desired size, final arrangement, invalidation rules.
  2. Use built-in panels and recycling paths before creating a custom panel.
  3. Verify how virtualization, scrolling, and templates interact on large data sets.
  4. Measure before and after changes when performance is the reason for the work.

Rules

  • Use InvalidateMeasure and InvalidateArrange deliberately.
  • Avoid per-item heavy logic inside measuring and arranging hot paths.
  • Keep virtualization-friendly templates light and deterministic.
