I need better file nesting.
I have Index.razor, Index.razor.cs, Index.Model.cs, Index.Interface.cs inside the Pages folder.
In csproj
I have
<ItemGroup>
<Compile Update="Pages\Index.razor.cs" DependentUpon="Pages\Index.razor" />
<Compile Update="Pages\Index.Model.cs" DependentUpon="Pages\Index.razor" />
<Compile Update="Pages\Index.Interface.cs" DependentUpon="Pages\Index.razor" />
</ItemGroup>
I created this functionality into Wildcard
<ItemGroup>
<Compile Update="**\*.Interface.cs" DependentUpon="$([System.String]::Copy('%(FileName)').Replace('.Interface', '.razor'))" />
<Compile Update="**\*.Model.cs" DependentUpon="$([System.String]::Copy('%(FileName)').Replace('.Model', '.razor'))" />
</ItemGroup>
What I want is better version of this
<ItemGroup>
<Compile Update="**\*.Interface.cs" Condition="Exists('Check Razor')" >
<DependentUpon>"$([System.String]::Copy('%(FileName)').Replace('.Interface', '.razor'))"</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
<Compile Update="**\*.Model.cs" Condition="Exists('Check Razor')" >
<DependentUpon>"$([System.String]::Copy('%(FileName)').Replace('.Model', '.razor'))"</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
<Compile Update="**\*.Interface.cs" Condition="Exists('Check cshtml')" >
<DependentUpon>"$([System.String]::Copy('%(FileName)').Replace('.Interface', '.cshtml'))"</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
<Compile Update="**\*.Model.cs" Condition="Exists('Check cshtml')" >
<DependentUpon>"$([System.String]::Copy('%(FileName)').Replace('.Model', '.cshtml'))"</DependentUpon>
</Compile>
Need to check here also
<Compile Update="**\*.Interface.cs" DependentUpon="$([System.String]::Copy('%(FileName)').Replace('.Interface', '.cs'))" />
<Compile Update="**\*.Model.cs" DependentUpon="$([System.String]::Copy('%(FileName)').Replace('.Model', '.cs'))" />
</ItemGroup>
So that I can use Isolation in cshtml and razor project without hasle.
For example to work in xaml, you can use MSBuild15's static update syntax.
<Compile Update="**\*.xaml.cs" DependentUpon="%(Filename)" />
MSbuild splits paths into ( => ) and ( => ), so it can be used to reference xaml files.
Filenamefoo.xaml.csfoo.xamlExtensionfoo.xaml.cs.cs%(Filename)

On Startup.cs in my Azure Function v2 project:
using Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using MyCompany.MyLib.Contracts; //namespace from external library
[assembly: FunctionsStartup(typeof(Startup))]
namespace Test
{
public class Startup : FunctionsStartup
{
public override void Configure(IFunctionsHostBuilder builder)
{
builder.Services.AddTransient(typeof(Logging.ILogger<>), typeof(Logging.Logger<>));
builder.Services.AddTransient<IUserLogic, UserLogic>();
builder.Services.AddTransient<IBillingLogic, BillingLogic>(); //---> loads up from above referenced "MyCompany.MyLib.Contracts" namespace and this namespace is from externally referenced class library but with in same solution
}
}
}
The above code with my own custom classes within function app project like "EmailLogic", "Logger" works fine.
But the moment I added up custom classes to services container like "BillingLogic" from external C# library project which is added as reference project from the existing visual studio solution it throws up below issue:
"A host error has occurred during startup operation '945918c0-af3a-4d50-ab1d-ac405d4f1c7b'. [2/3/2020 2:11:02 PM] MyFunction.FunctionApp: Could not load file or assembly 'MyCompany.MyLib.Contracts, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. Could not find or load a specific file. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131621). System.Private.CoreLib: Could not load file or assembly ''MyCompany.MyLib.Contracts, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"
If these lines from "referenced external projects" are removed,
using MyCompany.MyLib.Contracts;
builder.Services.AddTransient<IBillingLogic, BillingLogic>();
startup.cs works as expected but referring this external class from referenced project is must for my solution.

How to set dependencies when I use .NET Standard 2.0 DLL libraries with a .NET Framework console application?
which is on all your std libs add
<RestoreProjectStyle>PackageReference</RestoreProjectStyle>
so on both your standard libs

The problem was that i needed to copy my Directory.Build.props file and now is working. Just added this line to my dockerfile
COPY Directory.Build.props ./
I want to embed local references in the assembly before compiling the main unit. But the written target does not work.
<Target Name="EmbedLocal" BeforeTargets="CoreCompile">
<Message Text="Run EmbedLocal for $(MSBuildProjectFullPath)..." Importance="high"/>
<ItemGroup>
<EmbeddedResource Include="#( ReferencePath->WithMetadataValue( 'CopyLocal', 'true' )->Metadata( 'FullPath' ) )"/>
</ItemGroup>
<Message Text="Embed local references complete for $(OutputPath)$(TargetFileName)." Importance="high" />
</Target>
#(EmbeddedResource) at this moment contains valid list of paths.
Update:
Now my import file contains:
<Project ToolsVersion="$(MSBuildToolsVersion)" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<PropertyGroup>
<EmbedLocalReferences Condition=" '$(EmbedLocalReferences)' == '' ">True</EmbedLocalReferences>
</PropertyGroup>
<Target Name="EmbedLocal" BeforeTargets="ResolveReferences" Condition=" '$(EmbedLocalReferences)' == 'True' ">
<Message Text="Run EmbedLocal for $(MSBuildProjectFullPath)..." Importance="high"/>
<ItemGroup>
<EmbeddedResource Include="#(ReferenceCopyLocalPaths->WithMetadataValue( 'Extension', '.dll' )->Metadata( 'FullPath' ))">
<LogicalName>%(ReferenceCopyLocalPaths.Filename)%(ReferenceCopyLocalPaths.Extension)</LogicalName>
</EmbeddedResource>
</ItemGroup>
<Message Text="Embed local references complete for $(OutputPath)$(TargetFileName)." Importance="high" />
</Target>
</Project>
It works fine. Output assembly contains all .dll references as EmbeddedResource.
MSBuild. Create EmbeddedResource before build
You can try to use BeforeBuild action to the csproj file to include the embedded resources:
<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
...
<ItemGroup>
<EmbeddedResource Include="..."/>
</ItemGroup>
...
</Target>
Now MSBuild will add this file as embedded resource into your assembly.
Update:
Thanks #Martin Ullrich. He pointed out the correct direction, we could use <Target Name="EmbedLocal" BeforeTargets="PrepareForBuild"> in the Directory.Build.props to resolve this issue. You can check if it works for you.
<Target Name="EmbedLocal" BeforeTargets="PrepareForBuild">
...
<ItemGroup>
<EmbeddedResource Include="..."/>
</ItemGroup>
...
</Target>
I want to add some files to embedded resourses at compile time with special naming. For this I wrote in .csproj
<Target Name="BeforeBuild" >
<ItemGroup>
<EmbeddedResource Include="..\Bin\$(Configuration)\*.*">
</EmbeddedResource>
</ItemGroup>
</Target>
But it always set <LogicalName> to default.
How can I do this?
I found solution. This renaming works:
<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
<ItemGroup>
<Frameworks Include="..\Bin\$(Configuration)\Frameworks\*.*" />
<Steps Include="..\Bin\$(Configuration)\Steps\*.*" />
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<EmbeddedResource Include="#(Frameworks)">
<LogicalName>Frameworks.%(Filename)%(Extension)</LogicalName>
</EmbeddedResource>
<EmbeddedResource Include="#(Steps)">
<LogicalName>Steps.%(Filename)%(Extension)</LogicalName>
</EmbeddedResource>
</ItemGroup>
<Message Text="EmbeddedResource - #(EmbeddedResource)" />
</Target>
I'm trying to us MSBuild to add a linked file to my .csproj file.
This is .Net Framework 3.5 (and not 4.0). I mention that because I'm seen some 4.0 specific stuff trying to manipulate the XML.

I have:
MSBuild.Community.Tasks.dll
and
MSBuild.ExtensionPack.dll
available.
Any concrete help?
One liner comments like use 'MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Xml.XmlFile' won't be helpful.
But I appreciate any pointers or coded examples immensely.
Well, I opened up the code for "MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Xml.XmlFile(.cs)" and looked around.
Thank goodness for open source.
I figured out..you gotta "build it up".
And I had to add a little voodoo trick (with the "MyUniqueKeyHelper123" seen below).
I'll post here.
If you're having trouble with "MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Xml.XmlFile(.cs)", get the source code and look at it. You can figure out how to set the properties by looking at the method.
It was a little tricky at first, but figure-out-able.
<PropertyGroup>
<MSBuildExtensionPackPath Condition="'$(MSBuildExtensionPackPath)' == ''">.\ExtensionPackFiles</MSBuildExtensionPackPath>
<MSBuildExtensionPackLib>$(MSBuildExtensionPackPath)\MSBuild.ExtensionPack.dll</MSBuildExtensionPackLib>
</PropertyGroup>
<UsingTask AssemblyFile="$(MSBuildExtensionPackLib)" TaskName="MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Xml.XmlFile" />
<Target Name="XmlTest01Target">

Is it feasible for you to use the following?
using System;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine;
namespace ConsoleApplication11
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var fullPathName = #"PathToProjectFile\Project.csproj";
Project project = new Project();
project.Load(fullPathName);
var itemGroup = project.AddNewItemGroup();
var buildItem = itemGroup.AddNewItem("Content", #"..\..\SomeFunFolder\MyLinkFile.ext");
buildItem.SetMetadata("Link", "MyLinkFile.ext");
project.Save(fullPathName, Encoding.UTF8);
}
}
}
