Generating Extensions

Uno.Extensions.Markup.Generator is a source generator that will scan one or more assemblies for you to create the C# Markup Extensions for you to use. Once you have added the Source Generator to a given project it will scan that project and automatically generate extensions for the types that are found.

Using the Generator for 3rd Party Libraries

To generate extensions for another assembly (i.e. from a NuGet dependency) you can add the GenerateMarkupForAssembly attribute to the assembly with a specified reference type from the assembly to scan.

using Microsoft.UI.Xaml;
using Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Generator;

[assembly: GenerateMarkupForAssembly(typeof(FrameworkElement))]

Tip

If you do not add the reference to the Generator NuGet this attribute will be ignored and no source will be generated.
