Dev releases zero-allocation source generator to cut WPF/MAUI DependencyProperty boilerplate
A developer has released Kassyi.Generators.DependencyProperty, an open-source .NET source generator designed to eliminate the verbose boilerplate required when declaring DependencyProperty in UI frameworks such as WPF, MAUI, Avalonia, and WinUI 3. A single attribute replaces roughly 20 lines of repetitive registration code, while the generator automatically detects and wires up change-callback methods at compile time. The tool is built on a zero-allocation code synthesis engine using ref struct components, which the author says delivers 30 percent faster execution and 62 percent higher throughput than the upstream project it was forked from. This approach avoids the garbage-collection spikes that standard source generators can trigger on every keystroke, preventing IDE micro-stutters in Visual Studio and Rider at enterprise scale. The package is available on NuGet as Kassyi.Generators.DependencyProperty and the source code is published on GitHub under the Kassyi account.
