UserControls
UserControl
represents a "view" in Avalonia, which is a reusable collection of controls in a predefined layout.
A UserControl
usually consists of two parts: a XAML file (e.g. MyUserControl.axaml
) and a code-behind file (e.g. MyUserControl.axaml.cs
). The code-behind defines a .NET class which represents the control.
UserControl
s are often paired with "view models" when using the MVVM pattern. For more information see the Avalonia.Samples.
You can create UserControl
s from templates:
Visual Studio
- Right click the folder in Solution Explorer that you'd like to add the control to
- Select the
Add -> New Item
menu item - In the dialog that appears, navigate to the "Avalonia" section in the category tree
- Select "UserControl (Avalonia)"
- Enter your control name under "Name"
- Click the "Add" button
.NET Core CLI
Run this command replacing [namespace]
with the namespace you'd like to create the UserControl
in and [name]
with the name of the control.
dotnet new avalonia.usercontrol -p:n [namespace] -n [name]
For more information see the .NET core templates repository.
