            var strideImage = this.Find<Image>("StrideView");

            timer.Tick += (s,e) =>
            {
                if (frameReady.TryReceive(out byte[] bmp))

                    using var stream = new MemoryStream(bmp);
                    var bitmap = new Avalonia.Media.Imaging.Bitmap(stream);
                    strideImage.Source = bitmap;
                }
            };
            timer.Start();
        }
    }
}

If anyone is looking for the GlobalEvents.FrameReadyEventKey you simply add it to your global events file: https://doc.stride3d.net/4.2/en/manual/scripts/events.html

For example:

public static class GlobalEvents
{
    public static EventKey<byte[]> FrameReadyEventKey = new EventKey<byte[]>("Global", "Frame Ready");
}

Also, note that downloading a texture from the GPU is a slow and blocking operation. Stride has a better TextureReadback class that at least doesn't block. However, the correct solution would be to create AvaloniaUI with a GPU context, if possible, and share a texture via a shared handle. This would be possible with Angle: AvaloniaUI/Avalonia#5432

Hi @westonsoftware @tebjan
I found this gist in Stride community resources, looking for AvaloniaUI integration.

I would like to run a Stride game inside an Avalonia app.
It seems to me that this gist just displays a texture inside an Avalonia image. Is that correct?
Is there a way to render a whole game, like it is documented for WPF?
