.NET Community Toolkit is a collection of helpers and APIs that work for all .NET developers and are agnostic of any specific UI platform. The toolkit is maintained and published by Microsoft, and part of the .NET Foundation. (by CommunityToolkit)

How did you guys get your first C# job?
Started programming by writing some apps for Windows Phone later UWP during university. A few years ago I started collaborating a lot on GitHub to some Microsoft projects, like the Windows Community Toolkit. There I created a lot of new APIs and libraries, like all the new animation APIs and pipeline brush APIs, etc. I then also proposed adding some general .NET APIs to it, and that's how the MVVM Toolkit was born, along with other libraries which are now moved to the .NET Community Toolkit. Fast forward until about late 2020, and they pinged me saying the new Microsoft Store (which hadn't been announced yet back then) was using several of those new APIs I had written, so we started collaborating more so that I could add more functionality they needed. After that shipped, at some point there was a new opening to which I applied, and here I am in the Microsoft Store team and also leading the .NET Community Toolkit 🙂

WPF - MVVM Community Toolkit - RelacyCommand CanExecute not updating

I want to learn WPF and was told I should use a MVVM based framework any up to date suggestions?
Yeah, the fact properties use fields with annotations right now isn't ideal, it's just the best we could do until C# gets partial properties. I do plan on adding support for that though as soon as C# gets that feature. You can follow the progress here 🙂

Guard Library - StaticDotNet.ArgumentValidation
For comparison, CommunityToolkit.Diagnostics has a guard library.

Thinking about zero-allocation parsing.
There is some stuff in CommunityToolkit to lower allocations of frequently converted Spans, StringPool comes to mind.

WinUI port from UWP my experience
ModernWpf and WpfUI are both great options for making modern looking WPF apps. Combine that with CommunityToolkit.Mvvm and you've got a solid platform for Windows-only desktop apps.

using command as event handler
This is part of the problem. There are all of the platform specific toolkits, then the .NET Community Toolkit and its documentation refers to its MVVM portion as if it's a separate "MVVM toolkit".

Do you use any type of code generation tools?
The MVVM Toolkit and ComputeSharp ship with two source generators.

Custom intellisense error or warning feedback?
I don't know of anything out of the box that would emit errors/warnings for a case like that, but if it was something you were dealing with often enough you could certainly write your own analyzer if one doesn't already exist.

What are the hardest topics in C#/.NET you would like to know more/better?
I also couldn't find many info in docs nor more advanced tutorials, but this list of source generators helped me as an inspiration.

Why is no-one using Roslyn token-based code generation with Source Generators?
I'm planning to rewrite all of our company's old T4-based codegen tools into Source Generators. I've been looking at how other Source Generators are implemented and what surprised me is that everyone seems to assemble the output code manually as text with string builders or at best some simple templating engine (eg. Scriban). I expected that I would see a lot of projects assembling their output code from Roslyn tokens and then using Roslyn's formatter to produce the actual code that can be emitted into the output file(s), like this article demonstrates. No-one seem to be doing that though. Why?

HttpClientGenerator is a tool that uses the Roslyn code generator feature to write boilerplate HttpClient code for you.
Add it to this list https://github.com/amis92/csharp-source-generators
What are some alternatives?
When comparing dotnet and csharp-source-generators you can also consider the following projects:
Roslyn - The Roslyn .NET compiler provides C# and Visual Basic languages with rich code analysis APIs.
ComputeSharp - A .NET library to run C# code in parallel on the GPU through DX12, D2D1, and dynamically generated HLSL compute and pixel shaders, with the goal of making GPU computing easy to use for all .NET developers! 🚀
ResXFileCodeGenerator - VocaDb.ResXFileCodeGenerator is a C# source generator to generate strongly-typed resource classes for looking up localized strings.
stronginject - compile time dependency injection for .NET
PostSharp.NotifyPropertyChanged - auto-magic INotifyPropertyChanged done right
NullGuard - Adds null argument checks to an assembly
MVVM-Samples - Sample repo for MVVM package
HttpClientCodeGenerator - HttpClientGenerator is a tool that uses the Roslyn code generator feature to write boilerplate HttpClient code for you.
jab - C# Source Generator based dependency injection container implementation.
dotnet-options-generator - Generate and register IOptions from appsettings.json at compile-time with source generators.
PropertyChanged.SourceGenerator - Powerful INotifyPropertyChanged / INotifyPropertyChanging Source Generator, which generates INPC boilerplate for you as part of your build. Supports features such as automatic and manual dependencies between properties, notifications when specific properties change, and more.
