• Avalonia.Controls.Converters
• Avalonia.Controls.Models

Functional Groups

Use these groups to separate value conversion from collection/model helpers.

Presentation Converter

Notification and Collection Base Types

• NotifyingBase
• NotifyingListBase<T>
• ReadOnlyListBase<T>

Guidance

Use these types when building internal infrastructure for custom sources, rows, and columns.

• Prefer NotifyingBase for simple INotifyPropertyChanged models.
• Use NotifyingListBase<T> when range notifications are required.
• Use ReadOnlyListBase<T> for adapter-style list projections.
