This package generates a static `ThisAssembly.Info` class with public constants exposing the following attribute values generated by default for SDK style projects: * AssemblyConfigurationAttribute * AssemblyCompanyAttribute * AssemblyTitleAttribute * AssemblyProductAttribute * AssemblyVersionAttribute * AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute * AssemblyFileVersionAttribute If your project includes these attributes by other means, they will still be emitted properly on the `ThisAssembly.Info` class.
$ dotnet add package ThisAssembly.AssemblyInfoThis project uses SponsorLink to attribute sponsor status (direct, indirect or implicit). For IDE usage, sponsor status is required. IDE-only warnings will be issued after a grace period otherwise.
<!-- https://github.com/devlooped/.github/raw/main/sponsorlinkr.md --> <!-- #assembly -->This package generates a static ThisAssembly.Info class with public
constants exposing the following attribute values generated by default for SDK style projects:
AssemblyConfigurationAttribute
AssemblyCompanyAttribute
AssemblyTitleAttribute
AssemblyDescriptionAttribute
AssemblyProductAttribute
AssemblyCopyrightAttribute
AssemblyVersionAttribute
AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute
AssemblyFileVersionAttribute
If your project includes these attributes by other means, they will still be emitted properly
on the ThisAssembly.Info class.

Set the $(ThisAssemblyNamespace) MSBuild property to set the namespace of the
generated ThisAssembly root class. Otherwise, it will be generated in the global namespace.
The generated root ThisAssembly class is partial and has no visibility modifier by default,
making it internal by default in C#.
You can set the $(ThisAssemblyVisibility) MSBuild property to public to make it public.
This will also change all constants to be static readonly properties instead.
Default:
partial class ThisAssembly
{
public partial class Constants
{
public const string Hello = "World";
}
}
<!-- ../visibility.md -->
<!-- include https://github.com/devlooped/sponsors/raw/main/footer.md -->
<!-- include sponsors.md -->
<!-- sponsors.md -->
<!-- https://github.com/devlooped/sponsors/raw/main/footer.md -->
<!-- exclude -->In this case, the compiler will inline the constants directly into the consuming code at the call site, which is optimal for performance for the common usage of constants.
Public:
public partial class ThisAssembly
{
public partial class Constants
{
public static string Hello => "World";
}
}
This makes it possible for consuming code to remain unchanged and not require
a recompile when the the values of ThisAssembly are changed in a referenced assembly.
If you want to keep the properties as constants, you can instead extend the generated code by defining another partial that can modify its visibility as needed (or add new members).
// makes the generated class public
public partial ThisAssembly
{
// Nested classes are always public since the outer class
// already limits their visibility
partial class Constants
{
// add some custom constants
public const string MyConstant = "This isn't configurable via MSBuild";
// generated code will remain as constants
}
}
