InternalsVisibleTo in your csproj file

I blogged before about how to use the [InternalsVisibleTo] in your .NET Standard/.NET Core project. Today I discovered an alternative approach where you specify the attribute information in your csproj file:

	<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
	<PropertyGroup>
	<TargetFramework>netstandard2.0</TargetFramework>
	</PropertyGroup>
	<ItemGroup>
	<AssemblyAttribute Include="System.Runtime.CompilerServices.InternalsVisibleToAttribute">
	<_Parameter1>ProxyBuilder</_Parameter1>
	</AssemblyAttribute>
	</ItemGroup>
	</Project>

During compilation of your project an AssemblyInfo.cs file is generated (take a look at your object folder):

	//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	// <auto-generated>
	// This code was generated by a tool.
	// Runtime Version:4.0.30319.42000
	//
	// Changes to this file may cause incorrect behavior and will be lost if
	// the code is regenerated.
	// </auto-generated>
	//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	using System;
	using System.Reflection;
	[assembly: System.Runtime.CompilerServices.InternalsVisibleToAttribute("ProxyBuilder")]
	// Generated by the MSBuild WriteCodeFragment class.
