Is it possible to have two partial classes in different assemblies represent the same class?

Question

I have a class called \'Article\' in a project called \'MyProject.Data\', which acts as the data layer for my web application.

I have a separate project called \'MyP

Answer 1

Since 2019 you can have 2 parts of a partial class in different assemblies using a trick. This trick is explained and demonstrated in this article:

https://www.notion.so/vapolia/Secret-feature-Xamarin-Forms-control-s-auto-registration-1fd6f1b0d98d4aabb2defa0eb14961fa

It uses at its core the MSBuild.Sdk.Extras extension to SDK like projects, which solves the limitation of having all partial parts of a class in the same assembly, by using one project with multiple simultaneous targets, effectively creating multiples assemblies in one compilation of the same project.
