+# Mapsui Avalonia Quickstart Test
+
+This project tests the [Mapsui Avalonia quickstart guide](https://mapsui.com).
+
+## Steps Followed
+
+This project was created following these steps from the official guide:
+
+**Step 1:** Install the Avalonia templates:
+```bash
+dotnet new install Avalonia.Templates
+```
+
+**Step 2:** Create a new Avalonia project:
+```bash
+dotnet new avalonia.app -o MapsuiQuickstart
+```
+
+**Step 3:** Add the Mapsui.Avalonia nuget package:
+```bash
+dotnet add MapsuiQuickstart package Mapsui.Avalonia
+```
+
+**Step 4:** Modified `MainWindow.axaml.cs` to add the MapControl after `InitializeComponent()`:
+```csharp
+var mapControl = new Mapsui.UI.Avalonia.MapControl();
+mapControl.Map?.Layers.Add(Mapsui.Tiling.OpenStreetMap.CreateTileLayer());
+Content = mapControl;
+```
+
+## Running
+
+To build and run this project:
+
+```bash
+cd MapsuiQuickstart
+dotnet build
+dotnet run
+```
+
+You should see a map of the world using OpenStreetMap tiles.
+
+## Expected Result
+
+The application should launch and display an interactive map showing OpenStreetMap tiles that you can pan and zoom.

+# Mapsui Quickstart Tests
+
+This repository contains test implementations of the Mapsui quickstart guides to ensure they work correctly. Each subdirectory contains a minimal working example following the official quickstart guide for that platform.
+
+## Purpose
+
+This repository validates that:
+- All quickstart guides in the [Mapsui documentation](https://mapsui.com) work correctly
+- New users can successfully follow the guides to integrate Mapsui
+- Breaking changes are caught early before release
+
+## Tested Platforms
+
+The following platforms are tested in this repository:
+
+- **WPF** - Windows Presentation Foundation
+- **Avalonia** - Cross-platform UI framework
+- **Windows Forms** - Classic Windows desktop apps
+
+## Platforms Requiring Manual Testing
+
+Some platforms require specific environments or IDEs and are documented but not automatically tested:
+
+- **MAUI** - Requires Visual Studio with MAUI workload
+- **Uno Platform** - Requires Visual Studio with Uno templates
+- **Blazor** - WebAssembly application
+- **WinUI** - Requires Windows 11 SDK
+- **Eto Forms** - Cross-platform desktop
+- **.NET for Android** - Requires Android SDK
+- **.NET for iOS** - Requires macOS with Xcode
+
+## Structure
+
+```
+/
+├── WPF/ # WPF quickstart test
+├── Avalonia/ # Avalonia quickstart test
+├── WindowsForms/ # Windows Forms quickstart test
+└── README.md # This file
+```
+
+## Running the Tests
+
+Each platform subdirectory contains a complete .NET solution that can be built and run:
+
+```bash
+# Build all projects
+dotnet build
+
+# Build specific platform
+cd WPF && dotnet build
+cd Avalonia && dotnet build
+cd WindowsForms && dotnet build
+```
+
+## Contributing
+
+When updating quickstart guides in the main Mapsui repository, please also update the corresponding test project here to ensure the guide remains accurate.
+
+## License
+
+This repository follows the same license as [Mapsui](https://github.com/Mapsui/Mapsui).

+# Mapsui WPF Quickstart Test
+
+This project tests the [Mapsui WPF quickstart guide](https://mapsui.com).
+
+## Steps Followed
+
+This project was created following these steps from the official guide:
+
+**Step 1:** Create a new WPF application:
+```bash
+dotnet new wpf -o MapsuiQuickstart
+```
+
+**Step 2:** Add the Mapsui.Wpf package:
+```bash
+dotnet add package Mapsui.Wpf
+```
+
+**Step 3:** Modified `MainWindow.xaml.cs` to add the MapControl in the constructor **after** `InitializeComponent()`:
+```csharp
+var mapControl = new Mapsui.UI.Wpf.MapControl();
+mapControl.Map?.Layers.Add(Mapsui.Tiling.OpenStreetMap.CreateTileLayer());
+Content = mapControl;
+```
+
+## Building
+
+To build this project on Linux/macOS (cross-platform build):
+
+```bash
+cd MapsuiQuickstart
+dotnet build
+```
+
+Note: The project includes `true` to allow building on non-Windows platforms.
+
+## Running
+
+This project requires Windows to run. On Windows:
+
+```bash
+cd MapsuiQuickstart
+dotnet run
+```
+
+You should see a map of the world using OpenStreetMap tiles.
+
+## Expected Result
+
+The application should launch and display an interactive map showing OpenStreetMap tiles that you can pan and zoom.

+# Mapsui Windows Forms Quickstart Test
+
+This project tests the [Mapsui Windows Forms quickstart guide](https://mapsui.com).
+
+## Steps Followed
+
+This project was created following these steps from the official guide:
+
+**Step 1:** Create a new Windows Forms application:
+```bash
+dotnet new winforms -o MapsuiQuickstart
+```
+
+**Step 2:** Add the Mapsui.WindowsForms package:
+```bash
+dotnet add package Mapsui.WindowsForms
+```
+
+**Step 3:** Modified `Form1.cs` to add the MapControl to the class constructor:
+```csharp
+var mapControl = new Mapsui.UI.WindowsForms.MapControl();
+mapControl.Map.Layers.Add(Mapsui.Tiling.OpenStreetMap.CreateTileLayer());
+Controls.Add(mapControl);
+```
+
+## Building
+
+To build this project on Linux/macOS (cross-platform build):
+
+```bash
+cd MapsuiQuickstart
+dotnet build
+```
+
+Note: The project includes `true` to allow building on non-Windows platforms.
+
+## Running
+
+This project requires Windows to run. On Windows:
+
+```bash
