Use FontAwesome To C# to replace confusing and arcane unicode strings with a clean and descriptive property.
This:
// Huh? What icon is this? What font is it from? ๐ญ
submitButton.Text = "/uf00c";
Becomes this:
// Obviously a check icon from FontAwesome! ๐๐
submitButton.Text = FontAwesome.FontAwesomeIcons.Check;
The end result is cleaner, more readable and more maintainable code.
It's super easy to use FontAwesome To C#!
Simply download FontAwesomeIcons.cs and place it into your project.
Ensure that you have added the FontAwesome font files into your projects.
You can use an icon in C# like:
var checkIcon = FontAwesome.FontAwesomeIcons.Check;
You can use an icon in XAML by:
- Adding a namespace reference to
FontAwesome
:xmlns:fontAwesome="clr-namespace:FontAwesome"
- Referencing a icon using
x:Static
:<Label Text="{x:Static fontAwesome:FontAwesomeIcons.Check}"/>
Voila! All done!
