1Size of all non-static data members
2Order of data members
3Byte alignment or byte padding
4Size of its immediate base class
5The existence of virtual function(s) (Dynamic polymorphism using virtual functions).

IconFont2Code, my open-source tool in order to view icons in font files and create C# class with the glyph constants

As an app developer, it's impossible not to have the task to display an icon in the app. One of the common ways to display icons , instead of using images or SVGs , is by using font files (.ttf, .otf or .woff). Although font files are usually used to display text with a specific font, but they can also be used to display icons . Instead of containing glyphs with letters , they contain glyphs with icons : There are different types of font technologies but the most common ones today are the TrueType (.ttf), OpenType (.otf) or the WOFF (.woff) font files. The way they store and render the glyphs is using a collection of line and curve commands as well as a collection of hint , which allows them to provide both relatively fast drawing speed and true device independence . The  device independence is a key aspect given the myriad of display sizes and technologies which exist today. Referring to an icon inside of a icon font file  works by knowing the hexadecimal val...

The issue is not just about declaration of prefixes. Having separate prefixes bloats the XAML a lot because you have to use a separate prefix for every object you reference from the corresponding namespace. In my example there are 4 prefixes to deal with! As a solution to get rid of all the namespaces, a dark thought might have crossed your mind: remove all the CLR namespaces in the library’s code and just have one namespace! But you love your C# namespaces, they give class scope and separation, it’s...
