IonicIcons

The Ionicons set from the Ionic Framework, packaged as a Wisej.NET icon pack: 1,332 monochrome SVG icons on a 512 × 512 canvas, most of them in three variants: the filled default (home.svg), an outline (home-outline.svg) and a squared-off "sharp" drawing (home-sharp.svg). The set covers the usual application icons plus a large block of brand logos.

Installation​

Add the Wisej-4-IonicIcons package to your Wisej.NET project, either with the NuGet Package Manager or from the command line:

dotnet add package Wisej-4-IonicIcons

The package targets .NET Framework 4.8 and .NET 8 or later. It contains one assembly, Wisej.Ext.IonicIcons.dll, and that DLL is all you deploy. There's nothing to register. After a rebuild, the pack appears as a folder in the Visual Studio ImageSource editor. See Picking icons in Visual Studio.

Browse the icons​

Every icon in the pack, drawn from the SVG files the assembly embeds. Type to filter by file name or constant name, and select an icon for its constant, its resource.wx URL and a ready-to-paste assignment, each with a copy button. The icons are shown in the page's text color, the way they follow the theme's icon color in an application; the color swatch in the preview tries a ?color= value.

Using the icons​

Every icon is an embedded SVG served at resource.wx/Wisej.Ext.IonicIcons/<file-name>. In code, use the constants of the static Wisej.Ext.IonicIcons.Icons class, which already hold the full URL:

// The constant holds "resource.wx/Wisej.Ext.IonicIcons/print.svg".
this.button1.ImageSource = Wisej.Ext.IonicIcons.Icons.Print;

// The same icon by URL, for example when the name comes from data.
this.button1.ImageSource = "resource.wx/Wisej.Ext.IonicIcons/print.svg";

// A specific color instead of the theme's icon color.
this.button1.ImageSource = Wisej.Ext.IonicIcons.Icons.Print + "?color=SteelBlue";

The URL works in any property that takes an image source (ImageSource, Icon, BackgroundImageSource, …), and also in HTML and CSS.

Icon names​

Each constant of the Icons class is the file name in PascalCase:

FileConstant
home.svgIcons.Home
home-outline.svgIcons.HomeOutline
home-sharp.svgIcons.HomeSharp
print.svgIcons.Print

The variant is a suffix: no suffix for the filled drawing, -outline for the outline and -sharp for the squared-off one.

Colors​

The icons are monochrome, so they follow the theme's icon color and respond to ?color=. Use a named color, #rrggbb, rgb()/rgba(), or the name of a theme color (for example ?color=activeText). See SVG Colors.
