Costura | Embed references as resources

I try to embed the dll of a class library into my exe. I use visual studio 2019 and .net 5. I created two projects in one solution one is class library (dll), and the second is console application both targeted for .net core 5. I selected the console application as startup project. the class library contain only public static hello function which print out hello. I referenced the project of the class library into the console application then in the console application i only called the ClassNamespace.library.hello function. when I compile it, it workes fine. then I installed costura.fody as described in their readme, i added the to the console project by:

I would like to get a Single .EXE File so I'm using Costura.Fody.

After adding its NuGet package all of the DLLs are embeded to the .EXE file as expected. The problem is that I get all of those .xml files:

PS1: I'm using .NET Framework 4.6.1 (not able to use newer releases becouse of some of the DLLs).

PS2: Are those files required? Maybe I can delete them straight away...

Im trying to make newlines in the body of the SMTPJS

I am trying to code a section in HTML where you click a div it will expand its contents and other divs will toggle/hide. This is what I have and it is working perfectly:

If I click in the Personaliza title it will expand its contents and toggle/hide the other two titles.

Check the website in the third section: https://uniformaguatemalapruebas.herokuapp.com/

I am trying to add an icon - when the div is selected or expanded and the other two will show + icon. And If I click any title it will show + others will show -. If none are expanded they all will show +.

My issue is very simple but I am struggling at this.

This is what I have so far:

I'm working on a bilingual site (spanish/english), I took the advice from the 2nd answer in this post.

This is the bit of code in the navbar that I use to pick a language:

We have a desktop Windows app (written in WFP/C#) that we distribute as a single .exe file with no installer (it bundles all its dependencies via a Fody/Costura plugin).

We would like to integrate a local Action Center toast functionality where the app can display a toast and respond to it when it's clicked.

Displaying the toast is straightforward and can be done by using the Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.Notifications nuget package. However, in order to actually receive proper notifications when the toast is clicked in the Action Center (as opposed to the balloon tip) we need to register with notification platform.

The guide on how to do this seems to be focused on apps with an installer (e.g. Wix): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/shell/tiles-and-notifications/send-local-toast-desktop?fbclid=IwAR2AoHRKI88VNGRG-pTUytwhkMuovWT4bEr0RoXEayWpWsoGlghtZeq4Mo4#step-4-register-with-notification-platform

The specific task we're trying to achieve is, from the documentation:

If you're using classic Win32 (or if you support both), you have to declare your Application User Model ID (AUMID) and toast activator CLSID (the GUID from step #3) on your app's shortcut in Start.

How can we do it without writing an installer? We would like our app to do this registration on first run.

Note: the app already has provisions for elevating itself through UAC if needed by restarting itself in Administrator context.

[Update]

I managed to follow the instructions in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/shell/tiles-and-notifications/send-local-toast-desktop and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/enable-desktop-toast-with-appusermodelid to put together what should have been a working solution, but in the end, clicking on toasts in the Action Center does not trigger OnActivated() in my NotificationActivatior.

I have a class library project that is referencing .Net Framework 4.7.2 . I need to create an exe which will contain all the references of the project. I will not have access to any code or project references on the VM, where this exe needs to be run. Everything should be included in this one exe.

I have come across this question on SO.

Are solutions such as costura.Fody and ILMerge mentioned in that question addresses the same issue that I have?

( I am new to .Net and C#) and I was in doubt because I am not sure of managed assemblies vs. any other as mentioned in one of the answer in question that I referenced

Can someone help in clearing this or suggesting any other solution, if there is any.

My WPF program is using Entity Framewok Core 3.1.1 (code-first) with a SQLite database. If the database file does not exist on startup, the program calls context.Database.Migrate() to create one. Works great.

When I added Costura.Fody (using NuGet), that huge collection of DLLs disappeared and the program still works - until it needs to create a new database file. Then the Migrate() function fails with an error:

The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Data.Sqlite.SqliteConnection' threw an exception - The path is not of a legal form.

I have a similar issue if I try to use the Package Manager Console to add a migration manually - I get

Your startup project doesn't reference Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design

Removing the Fody Costura package causes everything to start working again. I haven't found anything on SO or elsewhere that references this issue, and Fody seems to be very popular, so I must be doing something dumb, but I don't know where to look.

Does anyone know how to get Fody Costura and EF Core migrations to coexist?

Many thanks.
