Is there a DependentUpon option in a .net core app?

Question

In my .net core application, I would like to have my partial files put under a given file like it was with a .net framework application using the tag DependentUpon in the csproj.

As shown in a picture, I would like all Program.*.cs files to be under Program.cs.

However, in the .csproj file, I do not see the file listed:

Is there a way to do that in a .net core app?

Answer 1

Yes, you just put an entry in an ItemGroup to update the implicit Compile elements from globbing. I'd personally use a separate ItemGroup element for this, away from your dependencies:

<ItemGroup>
  <Compile Update="Program.*.cs">
    <DependentUpon>Program.cs</DependentUpon>
  </Compile>
</ItemGroup>

One thing to note is the folder structure as stated here. If the files are located in a folder, then you reference the parent without the folder, like so:

<ItemGroup>
  <Compile Update="Models\Person.*.cs">
    <DependentUpon>Person.cs</DependentUpon>
  </Compile>
</ItemGroup>
