1) Add the following class to your project:

internal static class ModuleInitializer

{

    internal static void Run()

    {

        // TODO: Add assembly initialization logic.

    }

}

2) Add initialization logic to the Run method's body.

The InjectModuleInitializer nuget package modifies your project file, adding

an "AfterBuild" target. The target is configured such that, upon a successful

build of your project, it runs the InjectModuleInitializer.exe program. This

program modifies your compiled assembly so that, when it is loaded for the

first time, ModuleInitializer.Run() is called.
