DynamicMSBuilder

The DynamicVars project contains a custom MSBuild task, UpdateAssemblyInfoTask, which updates the AssemblyInfo.cs file of a .NET project. The task generates new GUIDs and random strings for various assembly attributes, ensuring that each build of the project has unique metadata.

It is essentially a Dynamic MSBuild task to help with minor obfuscation of C# Binaries to evade static signatures on each compilation.

Features

Update GUID: Generates a new GUID for the assembly.
Update Assembly Attributes: Randomize values for AssemblyTitle, AssemblyDescription, AssemblyCompany, and AssemblyProduct.
Update Copyright Year: Randomize the year in the copyright statement.

How To Use and Build

Add the Task to Your Project

Ensure the DynmaicVars project is built and the DLL is accessible.
Reference this DLL in your project.

Modify Your Project File (.csproj)

Open your .csproj file in a text editor.
Compile DynmaicVars.cs to a Class Library, then include the DLL in the csproj to help with compilation, add it at the end just before the </project> tag:

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

  <!-- rest of .csproj file -->

  <UsingTask TaskName="UpdateAssemblyInfoTask" AssemblyFile="$(OutputPath)DynmaicVars.dll"/>

  <Target Name="BeforeBuild">
    <UpdateAssemblyInfoTask FileToUpdate="Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs"/>
  </Target>

</Project>

Build Your Project

When you build your project, the BeforeBuild target triggers the UpdateAssemblyInfoTask, updating the AssemblyInfo.cs file.
In Visual Studio locate the Solution Explorer, right click on "References" and select "Add Reference". You'll need the following:
- Microsoft.Build.Framework
- Microsoft.Build.Utilities
