MaterialDesignInXamlToolkit VS zerosharp

Material Design In XAML Toolkit - better looking controls and stuff.

ITheme is just a collection of colors : https://github.com/MaterialDesignInXAML/MaterialDesignInXamlToolkit/blob/master/MaterialDesignThemes.Wpf/ITheme.cs

I'm using C# WPF with http://materialdesigninxaml.net/ (MaterialDesign),

I try to use a PackIcon inside a DataGrid.

Thanks, I'm using Material Design philosophy, thanks especially to the MaterialDesignInXAML library for WPF.

How is this outdated? The MaterialDesign one especially is being updated all the time. You think this doesn't look good?

- If you know the technology (eg. WPF) consider using a good UI library (eg. http://materialdesigninxaml.net/ for WPF + Material Design)

Static fields may be placed on Frozen Object Heap. The values of static readonly fields may not exist at all if the ILC's static constructor interpreter can pre-initialize it at compile-time and bake the value into binary or codegen. DynamicPGO does a similar optimization but for all cases, relying on recompilation. This is with JIT though which is not usable in such environment.

There is no concept of globals in .NET the way you describe it - you simply access static properties and fields.

In practice, you will not be running .NET on microcontrollers with existing mainline runtime flavours - very different tradeoffs, much like no-std in Rust. As mentioned, there is NanoFramework. Another one is https://www.wildernesslabs.co which my friend is using for an automated lab for his PhD thesis.

Last mention goes to https://github.com/bflattened/bflat which supports a few interesting targets like UEFI. From the same author there's an example of completely runtime-less C# as well: https://github.com/MichalStrehovsky/zerosharp. It remains a usable language because C# has a large subset of C and features for manual memory management so writing code that completely bypasses allocations is very doable, unlike most other GC-based languages.

Not sure why you would want to use C# without it’s open source framework but here it is: https://github.com/MichalStrehovsky/zerosharp

C# without .NET is like C without glibc. Possible but you'll need another core library. For C# that would be something like Mono or ZeroSharp.

NativeAOT definetely can do bare metal, here's an example of a very basic EFI boot application:

https://github.com/MichalStrehovsky/zerosharp/tree/master/ef...

Here's one example repo that uses that feature if you are interested: https://github.com/MichalStrehovsky/zerosharp

This is false. You can even make UEFI application in C#

check https://github.com/MichalStrehovsky/zerosharp/tree/master/efi-no-runtime

Kind of. There's https://github.com/MichalStrehovsky/zerosharp demonstrating some bare metal capabilities.
