[C#] .NET Core/Standard 2.0 编译时报“CS0579: Duplicate 'AssemblyFileVersionAttribute' attribute”错误的解决办法

作者： zyl910

一、缘由

当创建 .NET Core/Standard 2.0项目时，VS不会像.NET Framework项目一样自动生成AssemblyInfo.cs文件。
而且，若是手工在项目中加入以前写好的 AssemblyInfo.cs 文件，编译时会报告“CS0579: Duplicate 'AssemblyFileVersionAttribute' attribute”错误。

查了一下资料，发现是因为“.NET Core/Standard 2.0会自动填写程序集信息”而引起的。
具体来说——

  1. .NET Core/Standard 2.0 推荐在项目属性的“Package”页配置程序集的 版本、描述 等信息。
  2. 编译时，会自动根据“Package”页的配置，生成 “<项目名>.AssemblyInfo.cs”。其中便使用了 AssemblyFileVersionAttribute 等特性。
  3. 我们的 AssemblyInfo.cs 中也使用 AssemblyFileVersionAttribute 等特性。因为 AssemblyFileVersionAttribute 等特性是不允许重复，于是便报出CS0579错误了。

ProjectPackage

删除自己的 AssemblyInfo.cs，完全使用推荐做法（项目属性的“Package”页），当然是可以解决该问题、使项目能成功编译的。但是该方案的缺点是没有AssemblyInfo.cs，无法再用“利用条件编译控制程序集特性”等技巧。
第二种办法是在 AssemblyInfo.cs 中加上条件编译，若发现是 .NET Core/Standard 2.0（#if NETCOREAPP2_0 || NETSTANDARD2_0）时，便屏蔽掉 AssemblyFileVersionAttribute 等特性。但该方法比较繁琐。

有没有办法“禁止自动生成程序集特性，完全使用自己的AssemblyInfo.cs”呢？

二、解决

查了一下资料，找到了“.NET Core/Standard 2.0 禁止自动生成程序集特性”的办法。就是——修改项目的csproj文件，在PropertyGroup节点内加上“false”

例如修改前是这样的——

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.0</TargetFramework>
    <AssemblyName>ConsoleExample</AssemblyName>
    <RootNamespace>ConsoleExample</RootNamespace>
  </PropertyGroup>

</Project>

修改后变为这样——

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.0</TargetFramework>
    <AssemblyName>ConsoleExample</AssemblyName>
    <RootNamespace>ConsoleExample</RootNamespace>
    <GenerateAssemblyInfo>false</GenerateAssemblyInfo>
  </PropertyGroup>

</Project>

改好后便会发现不再自动生成 “<项目名>.AssemblyInfo.cs”了，能使用自己的AssemblyInfo.cs，顺利编译了。

三、深入

3.1 自动生成的机制

“<项目名>.AssemblyInfo.cs”的内容一般是这样的——

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// <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.Reflection.AssemblyCompanyAttribute("ConsoleExample")]
[assembly: System.Reflection.AssemblyConfigurationAttribute("Debug")]
[assembly: System.Reflection.AssemblyDescriptionAttribute("Package Description")]
[assembly: System.Reflection.AssemblyFileVersionAttribute("1.0.0.0")]
[assembly: System.Reflection.AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute("1.0.0")]
[assembly: System.Reflection.AssemblyProductAttribute("ConsoleExample")]
[assembly: System.Reflection.AssemblyTitleAttribute("ConsoleExample")]
[assembly: System.Reflection.AssemblyVersionAttribute("1.0.0.0")]
// Generated by the MSBuild WriteCodeFragment class.

上面这段自动生成的代码，实际上是由 c:Program Filesdotnetsdk2.0.0SdksMicrosoft.NET.SdkuildMicrosoft.NET.GenerateAssemblyInfo.targets 控制的。该文件的内容是——

3.2 部分自动生成

弄清楚机制后，我们可以做成部分自动生成的。即部分程序集特性自动生成，另外一部分来自我们自己的AssemblyInfo.cs。

具体办法是修改项目的csproj文件，在PropertyGroup节点内加上“false”等内容，而不用GenerateAssemblyInfo。

例如——

<PropertyGroup>
  <TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.1</TargetFramework>
  <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
  <GenerateAssemblyConfigurationAttribute>false</GenerateAssemblyConfigurationAttribute>
  <GenerateAssemblyCompanyAttribute>false</GenerateAssemblyCompanyAttribute>
  <GenerateAssemblyProductAttribute>false</GenerateAssemblyProductAttribute>
</PropertyGroup>

GenerateAssemblyConfigurationAttribute这样的参数名详见 Microsoft.NET.GenerateAssemblyInfo.targets 。
