MSBuild

• Sharing Saturday #459
  5 projects | /r/roguelikedev | 24 Mar 2023

  I did get confirmation that the actual kill has been postponed to .Net 9.0 rather than .Net 8.0 . However, that PR is factually wrong regarding when System.Runtime.Serialization use became opt-in -- I had to counter-adjust Rogue Survivor Revived to opt into using System.Runtime.Serialization for .Net 7.0, last November i.e. Nov 2022.

• Did anyone figure out a way to compile .NET Core with WPF on Linux?

  Like this https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/blob/d0060335c1fb2f0523b1cf4656c464c5c4316783/src/Framework/NativeMethods.cs

• [Copilot has] been a massive productivity improvement to our senior devs, and I got so used to it that it's an annoyance when Copilot doesn't respond.

• Resources to learn the F# ecosystem

  The main thing they do is to list projects so that you can open a solution and see a set of projects, or build a solution and build everything there. They also give a lot of customization and fortunately it's rare that you need to know anything about that. It does feel somewhat unnecessary since you should be able to open a project with its dependencies. Hopefully solution files are going to be cleaned up: https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/issues/1730

• Build to order? Checking MSBuild for the second time
  1 project | dev.to | 7 Sep 2022

  Since the previous check, the project has grown a lot. Our analyzer has become more advanced, too. This only makes this task more interesting! Despite the high quality of the MSBuild product and the well-known name of its creator, we again managed to find some issues in MSBuild's source code. The project is almost entirely written in C#. You can see it on GitHub. We took the code from this commit.

• Gauging broader interest in a .sln file generator based on a new DSL?
  1 project | /r/dotnet | 6 Aug 2022
• New format for solution (.sln) files
  1 project | /r/csharp | 16 Jul 2022

• How can I compile a C# program with a different version of glibc?
  1 project | /r/csharp | 11 Mar 2022

  msbuild is the "make" system, but for .Net. Those .csproj files are just makefiles by another name. Also, msbuild is not Windows-only. The readme specifically states that it can run on Unix (and Unix-like) systems that support .Net Core.

  You can't do without source files when you want to better understand what is happening "under the hood" of a particular system. For example, do you want to improve your understanding of how types from the standard library work? The source code of .NET Framework and .NET will help you to do that. Do you want to dig deeper into the compiler? No problem - here is the Roslyn's source code at your service. Do you need to look inside the build system? Here you go - the MSBuild code is also open-source. By the way, if you are interested in build processes, you may also find MSBuild Structured Log Viewer useful. It's a tool that allows you to work with MSBuild build logs in a convenient format.
