About

Use MaterialDesignIcons.cs to replace confusing and arcane unicode strings with a clean and descriptive property.

This:

// Huh? What icon is this? What font is it from? 😭
submitButton.Text = "/ue869";

Becomes this:

// Obviously a build icon from MaterialDesign! 😊👍
submitButton.Text = MaterialDesignIcons.Build;

The end result is cleaner, more readable and more maintainable code.

Using Material Design To C#

It's super easy to use MaterialDesign To C#.

Simply download MaterialDesignIcons.cs and place it into your project to start using it.

You can use an icon in C# like:

var fileIcon = MaterialDesignIcons.Build;

You can use an icon in XAML by:

Adding a namespace reference to MaterialDesign: xmlns:md="clr-namespace:MaterialDesign";
Referencing a icon using x:Static: <Label Text="{x:Static md:MaterialDesignIcons.Build}"/>

Voila! All done!

If you're using FontAwesome, check out fa2cs, a static class file containing string constants for all FontAwesome icon codes.
