https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bYgywZ9pPE
Quick start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBWt-KdQtoc
==============================
DllExport -action Configure
==============================
Package from nuget.org already contains manager, but you can also get it directly.
Latest manager: https://3F.github.io/DllExport/releases/latest/manager/
~18 Kb text-based embeddable batch-script that does not require powershell and dotnet-cli.
Automatic restoring still is available but you can also use: `DllExport -action Restore`
All available features: `DllExport -h`
Direct links to remote package (without nuget server) via `-pkg-link {uri}` key. Issue #53.
NuGet Server by default: nuget.org.
* NEW: The new Wizard (configurator via MvsSln). To easy configure your projects in any place. Part of Issue #38.
MvsSln v2.0: https://github.com/3F/MvsSln
* NEW: Added support of empty/global namespaces - Issue #47.
Use `Direct-Mod` if Cecil will not process this correctly.
* NEW: Implemented another storage for configuration: '.net.dllexport.targets'. Issue #49.
* NEW: New settings for configurator (Wizard):
* Path to custom ILAsm.
* Flag to keep intermediate Files (IL Code, Resources, ...).
* Timeout of execution in milliseconds.
* NEW: Implemented automatic checking existence of a correct exported proc via Conari. Issue #55.
Wizard controls it via `$(DllExportPeCheck)`:
* 0x01 bit - Will check count of all planned exports from final PE32/PE32+ module.
* 0x02 bit - Will check existence of all planned exports (IL code) in actual PE32/PE32+ module.
* NEW: Implemented PE32/PE32+ Viewer to check manually available exports from final modules. Issue #55.
New key for manager:
```
-pe-exp-list {module} - To list all available exports from PE32/PE32+ module.
```
Sample:
```
DllExport -pe-exp-list bin\Debug\regXwild.dll
```
* FIXED: Fixed target platform detection. Issue #34.
Details: https://github.com/3F/DllExport/issues/34#issuecomment-306171060
* FIXED: Fixed problem when the Post-Build event is triggered before our tool. Issue #35.
Use this if still is needed:
```
...
```
* FIXED: Fixed generation of exp + .lib via MS Library Manager for VS2017. Issue #37.
Now it also includes processing through VsDevCmd & VcVarsAll initializer scripts.
Use the folowing msbuild properties to override values by default:
* $(DllExportVcVarsAll); $(DllExportVsDevCmd)
* FIXED: Fixes possible problem with multiple properties that contains *Undefined* word,
e.g.: *Undefined*\path1;C:\path2 ...
* CHANGED: Added information about finding lib tool. Issue #44.
* CHANGED: UI. Selected platform now affects to all configurations of project instead of active as before.
* CHANGED: Now nuget package does not contain library in `lib/.../` Details in #36.
* CHANGED: Now we also distribute .zip package for work through our manager etc.
