MSBuild: Understand and Customize Your .NET Build
summary
MSBuild, the open-source build system used by .NET Core since 2017, is presented with practical guidance on customizing projects by editing project files to add custom targets and modify properties and item groups. The talk demonstrates diagnosing build failures using increased verbosity and log inspection, and uses concrete worked examples (project template SDK, general assembly info) whose customizations are shown to build and run locally.
