PropertyChanged VS ModuleInit

Add [AddINotifyPropertyChangedInterface] attribute to the class for change notification.

All the weaving libraries (also called weavers or addin) using Fody need to have the .Fody suffix, so it's quite easy to recognize them. As an example, if you ever had to implement INotifyPropertyChanged manually in a class with dozens of properties you would probably welcome weaving (and Fody) with open arms. By creating all the plumbing code directly in IL, libraries like PropertyChanged.Fody allows to inject the necessary notification code without the need to modify anything in the original source code.

You can rewrite auto-props (as used this this lib https://github.com/Fody/PropertyChanged) with Fody.

If you're not familiar with Fody and specifically the PropertyChanged weaver, I highly recommend checking it out: https://github.com/Fody/PropertyChanged

Now the ugly part - you need to implement INotifyPropertyChanged. It can be done either manually, or automated with this or this

https://github.com/Fody/PropertyChanged and Android background makes WPF pretty easy. At least the surface level stuff.

If you really don't want to deal with it ever again, just add this Fody - PropertyChanged NuGet package. Any class that inherits from INotifyPropertyChanged will be updated at compile time to inject in the boilerplate code for handling the property change and you never even need to think about it again. All you need to do is just add plain old properties. The only downside that some people see is that it is not immediately transparent as the change notification code is injected in during compile and is not in source code.

And GitHub is the place where employees of billion dollar companies pester unpaid maintainers because they won’t support a 12 year old version of .NET

Module initializers are a kinda obscure feature of .NET that allows writing initialization code for an assembly. They allow libraries to do one-time initialization when loaded, without the need for the user to explicitly call anything. It's a quite niche feature, but unfortunately it was not exposed in C#, and that led to users finding their own way of using it, like with ModuleInit.Fody. Given the need for it, Microsoft then decided to add it in supported platform starting from C# 9.0.
