Importing macros of a .csproj to a Directory.build.targets file?

I have the following Directory.build.targets file located next to the solution file:



        <BinaryFormats Include="$(SolutionDir)Projects\BinaryFormats\bin\Debug\netstandard2.1\BinaryFormats.dll" />

Its job is to copy some class libraries to $(SolutionDir)Assets\Plugins and achieves in doing so.

One thing however, each of the file path to be copied is hard-coded.

Is it possible somehow to imports the macros of a .csproj and use them in the file?

For instance, to be able to use the following syntax instead of hard-coded paths:

<ItemGroup>
    <BinaryFormats Include="$(TargetDir)$(TargetName).dll"/>
    <BinaryFormats Include="$(TargetDir)$(TargetName).pdb"/>
</ItemGroup>

Yes, that works. The Directory.build.props and Directory.build.targets files are evaluated respectively executed for each project separately. For each project, the corresponding macros (such as $(TargetPath) or $(ProjectPath)) will have the values for that particular project. So your above example <BinaryFormats Include="$(TargetDir)$(TargetName).pdb"/> should just work as written.

With additional conditions, you can also use these files to conditionally extend your projects. For instance, I have a large solution (100+ projects) where the Directory.build.props contains this section:

This automatically adds these two packages as references to all unit test projects (and only these), which not only reduces clutter on the project files themselves but also allows me to upgrade these packages with only changing a single line of code.

How do I construct a line of code to test the conditional mean difference in votes by region, controlling for other variables in the model?
