This 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.

This package provides a static ThisAssembly.Metadata class with public constants exposing each [System.Reflection.AssemblyMetadata(..)] defined for the project.

For an attribute declared (i.e. in AssemblyInfo.cs) like:

[assembly: System.Reflection.AssemblyMetadataAttribute("Foo", "Bar")]

A corresponding ThisAssembly.Metadata.Foo constant with the value Bar is provided. The metadata attribute can alternatively be declared using MSBuild syntax in the project (for .NET 5.0+ projects that have built-in support for @(AssemblyMetadata) items):

<ItemGroup> <AssemblyMetadata Include="Foo" Value="Bar" /> </ItemGroup>

Customizing the generated code

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"; } }
