Generating code from assembly metadata

 

This is how you can use ThisAssembly.Metadata .

The code that you start with is

?
1
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">    <PropertyGroup>     <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>     <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>     <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>     <Nullable>enable</Nullable>   </PropertyGroup>  <ItemGroup>       <AssemblyMetadata Include="MyName" Value="Andrei" />  </ItemGroup>  <ItemGroup>     <PackageReference Include="ThisAssembly.Metadata" Version="1.4.3">      <PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>      <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>       </PackageReference>     </ItemGroup>  <PropertyGroup>       <EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles>true</EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles>       <CompilerGeneratedFilesOutputPath>$(BaseIntermediateOutputPath)\GX</CompilerGeneratedFilesOutputPath>   </PropertyGroup> </Project>

The code that you will use is

?
1
[assembly: System.Reflection.AssemblyMetadataAttribute("Name", "Test")]  Console.WriteLine(ThisAssembly.Metadata.Name); Console.WriteLine(ThisAssembly.Metadata.MyName);
