Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

The future of Clang-based tooling
One of the most surprising things I learned about "clang" was how relatively poor the "libClang" capabilities are.
I wanted to write a codegen tool that would auto-generate bindings for C++ code, and it turns out that "libTooling" is the only reasonable way to get access to the proper info you need from C++.
Another alternative is "libClangSharp", from Tanner Gooding who works on C# at Microsoft.

How to make C# bindings for C++ libs
Bindings for C++ are tricky due to function name mangling and also due to ABI compat, it's basically impossible to interop with a std::vector for example. Afaik the most common approach is to PInvoke thin C wrappers around the C++ functions. There are tons of binding generators for this but they aren't without problems (not worth if you have a small API surface).

C# calling C Shared Library
3: Throwing my work away and using ClangSharpto create the bindings, unfortunately the header file for the shared library lists other C library's that I can not find online such as > #include

Genny – Generate Nim library bindings for many languages
I've found this to be true, with the exception that a few people have taken to "augmenting" libclang with extra bindings to libTooling functions or other C++-only methods.
Most notably is Tanner Gooding & Co's "libClangSharp" from the Microsoft "ClangSharp" project, and PathogenDavid's "Biohazrd" libraries (which again are a sort of enhanced fork based on ClangSharp):

How can I use C definitions in .NET 5?
If you want to go down that route, clangsharp can do this for you.

[OC] I made a program for Windows which lets you create sticky preview thumbnails
This was mostly a project for fun, to dive into CsWin32 - a PInvoke source generator as well to fiddle around with the DWM API.

Change Secondary screen rotation using CMD
If you haven't seen the CsWin32 project, you can use it to generate all your bindings as well. It generates the raw extern bindings, and then friendly wrappers for C# (where possible) that also work really well with PowerShell.
-
Audio routing using C#
My best guess would be to use CsWin32 to wrangle the audio sinks used by variious WASAPI sessions.

Hello. Can someone please give me some fun and cool projects for powrshell? Thank you.
If you're looking for something different, try out writing windows programs using Win32 via CsWin32. You can generate a DLL that you Add-Type into PowerShell that lets you access all of Win32.

PInvoke.net: the interop wiki
Also worth mentioning is this C# source generator for generating P/Invoke methods for win32 APIs: https://github.com/microsoft/CsWin32

WPF Roadmap 2023
Idk what all the hubub is about FolderBrowserDialog, it's pretty easy to make the Win32 calls (you can even code generate the interop calls).
-
C# to C Struct
You could try this to auto-generate it.
- Any existing windows API wrappers?

Need help with WPF
If all you need is Win32 stuff from a WPF application, you can use P/Invoke to call the unmanaged code from C# (see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/native-interop/pinvoke). Microsoft also recently added features for making working with Win32 from C# easier (see: https://github.com/microsoft/CsWin32).
