====

MSBuild task that automatically uses official protoc binary in [Google.Protobuf.Tools](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Google.Protobuf.Tools/) to generate c# files from .proto files. In order to build the generated c# files, it adds official [Google.Protobuf](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Google.Protobuf/) as indirect reference to your project as well

Install via [nuget](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Protobuf.CodeGen.BuildTask)

or add below code snippet to your .csproj file

Windows, Linux, OSX are all supported and tested

```

    

        All

    

```

The generated files will be under obj/_ProtobufCodeGen folder, which will be gitignored by default.

The unit test project [here](https://github.com/hanabi1224/Protobuf.CodeGen.BuildTask/tree/master/test/Protobuf.CodeGen.BuildTask.Tests) is a good example to demonstrate the usage of this package.

As a side note, all the .proto files are also distributed together with the output dll as embedded resources, which can be inspected by tools like [ILSpy](https://github.com/icsharpcode/ILSpy).
