Avalonia Platform Services

Start with:

  • ../../references/29-storage-provider-and-file-pickers.md
  • ../../references/31-clipboard-and-data-transfer.md
  • ../../references/32-launcher-and-external-open.md
  • ../../references/33-screens-and-display-awareness.md

Load these when workflow overlap exists:

  • ../../references/34-dragdrop-workflows.md
  • ../../references/48-toplevel-window-and-runtime-services.md

Workflow

  1. Resolve which top-level or window owns the service interaction.
  2. Keep platform-service abstractions thin and centered on Avalonia APIs.
  3. Model data-transfer contracts explicitly for drag/drop and clipboard flows.
  4. Validate multi-window, multi-screen, and external-open behavior on the target platform.

Rules

  • Prefer Avalonia service abstractions over platform-specific escape hatches.
  • Keep file-picker and launcher flows async and user-driven.
  • Treat clipboard and drag/drop formats as part of the app contract.
