Syntax

public class Application : AvaloniaObject, IAvaloniaObjectDebug, INotifyPropertyChanged, 
    IValueSink, IDataContextProvider, IAvaloniaObject, IGlobalDataTemplates, IDataTemplateHost, 
    IGlobalStyles, IStyleHost, IResourceHost, IResourceNode, IApplicationPlatformEvents

Remarks

The Application class encapsulates Avalonia application-specific functionality, including: - A global set of DataTemplates. - A global set of Styles. - A FocusManager. - An InputManager. - Registers services needed by the rest of Avalonia in the RegisterServices() method. - Tracks the lifetime of the application.
