UWP - AppShell.xmal - MUXC:NavigationViewItem - List of available Icons (not costume made)

Question

Currently, I am working on a solution Universal Windows (C#/xaml), where the namespace Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls is used.

            <MUXC:NavigationView.MenuItems>
            <MUXC:NavigationViewItem
                x:Name="ExpensesRecordsMenuItem"
                Content="{x:Bind Label}" 
                ToolTipService.ToolTip="{x:Bind Label`}"
                Icon="ContactInfo"/>
            <MUXC:NavigationViewItem
                x:Name="IncomeRecordsMenuItem"
                Content="{x:Bind Label1}" 
                ToolTipService.ToolTip="{x:Bind Label1}"
                Icon="Shop"/>
        </MUXC:NavigationView.MenuItems>

As one can see, the Icon takes a string value which is expected by NavigationViewItem and return an Icon object on the GUI, as part of the navigation view. Hence, no costume icon I had to add to the solution/project.

I have failed to find a reference to all possible list of Icons on-line, so, I could use Windows natural assets, instead of creating new icons all the time.

Is there any chance anyone here has found that list?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards

You could find the complete list of icon names from Symbol enumeration then use it like the following.

<NavigationViewItem x:Name="ExpensesRecordsMenuItem" Content="item1" Icon="CalendarDay"/>

If you would like to use a glyph from the Segoe MDL2 Assets font that is not included in the Symbol enumeration, then use a FontIcon like following.

      <NavigationView>
            <NavigationView.MenuItems>
                <NavigationViewItem x:Name="ExpensesRecordsMenuItem" Content="item1">
                    <NavigationViewItem.Icon>
                        <FontIcon FontFamily="Segoe MDL2 Assets" Glyph="&#xE790;"/>
                    </NavigationViewItem.Icon>
                </NavigationViewItem>
            </NavigationView.MenuItems>
        </NavigationView>
