However, how about allowing your test project ( even unit test project ) to run under Aspire Host ? Of course, Aspire will reference the test –…

SqlExtensionsAspire–part 2–code
I wanted the code to be easy used by any programmer that uses SqlServer in ASPIRE , such as For this to work, I create extensions – you can see them at https://github.com/ignatandrei/aspireExtensions/blob/main/src/SqlServerExtensions/SqlExtensionsAspire/SqlServerExtensions.cs Some problems that I solved 1.
