CSharpier can be run when a project is built by installing the CSharpier.MSBuild nuget package

Install-Package CSharpier.MSBuild

Target Frameworks​

CSharpier.MSBuild will be run with net6.0 or net7.0 if the project targets one of the two frameworks. In cases where the project targets something else (net48, netstandard2.0) CSharpier_FrameworkVersion will default to net7.0 This can be controlled with the following property. This property is required if the csproj is targeting < net6.0 (netstandard2.0, net48, etc) and net7.0 is not installed.

  <PropertyGroup>
    <CSharpier_FrameworkVersion>net6.0</CSharpier_FrameworkVersion>
  </PropertyGroup>

By default this will

  • In Debug - on build will run dotnet csharpier in the project folder to format all files in the project.
  • In Release - on build will run dotnet csharpier --check in the project folder to validate that all files in the project have already been formatted.

You can control when --check is used with the following Property

  <PropertyGroup>
    <CSharpier_Check>false</CSharpier_Check>
  </PropertyGroup>
