Trimming default WPF app breaks it

See original GitHub issue

dotnet new wpf
dotnet publish -r win-x64 /p:PublishTrimmed=true
run the app

Running the app “does nothing” no window shows up.

Note that this is a regression from 3.1 where this worked.

Used: 5.0.100-rtm.20515.8 SDK

This should be replaced by the proper C# module initializer now that that C# can emit them.

👍

Replacing this infrastructure is exactly why @rladuca and I pushed for the C# module-initializer feature (along with many others for many other good reasons). This should absolutely be changed in .NET 6. The ILASM/ILDASM trick is ok for now, but it’s meta-stable at best.
