​

Best Practices

1. Dependency Injection - Request only the services you need in your constructor
2. Event Cleanup - Always unsubscribe from service events in Dispose()
3. Thread Safety - Most services must be used from the framework thread
4. Error Handling - Wrap service calls in try-catch blocks for stability
