Msbuild command line argument at project-level not solution-level for changing AssemblyName

Question

Is there any way to specify a command line argument for msbuild that will apply only to one project (i.e. project-level not solution-level), when building a multi-project so

Answer 1

You can edit your project in question (its .csproj file) to obtain assembly name from a special property if it is specified, i.e.:

UsualAssemblyName
$(ThisProjectNameOverrideAssemblyName)

So when you build your project in question, you pass your ThisProjectNameOverrideAssemblyName to override AssemblyName for this project only:

msbuild /p:ThisProjectNameOverrideAssemblyName=NewAssemblyName
