NuGet Package Reference

You must install the NuGet package for the data grid, there are several ways of doing this. You can use Manage NuGet Packages from the project menu of your IDE:

Alternatively, you can run this instruction from the command line:

dotnet add package Avalonia.Controls.TreeDataGrid

Or add package reference directly to the project (.csproj) file:

<PackageReference Include="Avalonia.Controls.TreeDataGrid" Version="11.0.0" />

warning

Note you must always install the data grid version that matches the Avalonia UI version you are using.

Include Data Grid Styles

You must reference the data grid themes to include the additional styles that the tree data grid uses. You can do this by adding a <StyleInclude> element to the application (App.axaml file).

For example:

<Application xmlns="https://github.com/avaloniaui"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
             x:Class="AvaloniaApplication.App">
  <Application.Styles>
    <FluentTheme/>
    <StyleInclude 
        Source="avares://Avalonia.Controls.TreeDataGrid/Themes/Fluent.axaml"/>
  </Application.Styles>
</Application>
