WPF to Avalonia
Start with:
../../references/64-wpf-to-avalonia-modern-ui-conversion-index.md../../references/wpf-to-avalonia/README.md
Prioritize the chapters that match the WPF source:
- property system, bindings, resources, styles, and templates
- layout, navigation, windows, dialogs, and dispatcher workflows
- rendering, animation, popup, interop, and document workflows
- advanced control families, selection models, and platform services
Workflow
- Map the WPF concept first, then choose the Avalonia equivalent or redesign.
- Call out where Avalonia does not preserve a WPF subsystem directly, especially triggers, navigation, and interop.
- Replace resource, layout, and rendering assumptions before doing control-by-control cleanup.
- Keep the migration narrative explicit about what stays familiar and what changes materially.
Rules
- Do not promise WPF trigger,
CommandManager, orHwndHostparity where it does not exist. - Use Avalonia selectors, templates, and state patterns rather than recreating WPF internals.
- Keep document and printing workflows in a separate explicit decision track.
