Forgive my ignorance. But what "price" you are talking about, money, or dev time spent to root out the kinks?
I have a WPF application running on Windows, and I am thinking about porting it to Avalonia for the purpose of cross platform. Just for the background
- cfn 3y agoIt is a few thousand USD/EUR. It is pricey but inline with most commercial WPF components.
- jeroenhd 3y agoMoney, specifically $20k per app per platform (assuming you're not a small startup). That's Avalonia XPF, though, not the open source component; XPF is an alternative platform to target that'll turn WPF into Avalonia without rewriting any code. If you're willing to rewrite/port code, you can use the open source stuff and get the benefits for free, of course!
