TALXIS.DevKit.Build.Dataverse.PdPackage

MSBuild integration for Power Platform Package Deployer (PD) packages. Wraps Microsoft.PowerApps.MSBuild.PDPackage, adds ILRepack-based assembly merging for the deployment package DLL, and provides Configuration Migration Tool (CMT) package discovery, metadata merging, and zipping.

Installation

<PackageReference Include="TALXIS.DevKit.Build.Dataverse.PdPackage" Version="0.0.0.1" PrivateAssets="All" />

Or use the SDK approach:

<Project Sdk="TALXIS.DevKit.Build.Sdk/0.0.0.1">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <ProjectType>PdPackage</ProjectType>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

How It Works

Microsoft PDPackage import

Props and targets from Microsoft.PowerApps.MSBuild.PDPackage are imported automatically. The version is controlled by PdPackageMsBuildVersion.

Project reference filtering

_DetectPdProjectReferenceTypes probes all ProjectReference items for GetProjectType. Solution-type references have ReferenceOutputAssembly set to false so their DLLs are not included in the package output.

ILRepack

DataverseILRepack (runs after Build) merges all non-Microsoft DLLs (excluding reference assemblies and Newtonsoft.Json) into the main output assembly using ILRepack.exe. Can be disabled with DataversePackageRunILRepack=false or SkipPackageILRepack=true.

CMT package discovery

TalxisDiscoverCmtPackages scans for folders containing [Content_Types].xml with sibling data.xml and data_schema.xml. Supports include/exclude filtering via IncludedCmtPackages/ExcludedCmtPackages.

CMT package zipping

TalxisZipCmtPackages (runs after Build) zips each discovered CMT package directory into CmtPackageOutputDir.

CMT metadata merging

TalxisPrepareCmtPackageMetadata merges data.xml and data_schema.xml from all CMT packages into a single combined package, generates [Content_Types].xml, zips it, and appends a reference to ImportConfig.xml.

Publishing and NuGet packing

dotnet publish is the primary build command. It publishes the project, generates the .pdpkg.zip via GeneratePdPackage, and then automatically runs Pack to produce a .nupkg containing the .pdpkg.zip (controlled by GeneratePackageOnPublish).

MSBuild Properties

PDPackage

Property Default Description
PdPackageMsBuildVersion 1.50.1 Version of Microsoft.PowerApps.MSBuild.PDPackage imported by the package.
