Description

Description

I am modifying some of the files that are generated by the codegen after the process. The code that I am adding requires a reference to an external library. Is there a way to tell codegen to add this at the generation step? I would like to avoid changing the resulting csproj manually.

Research direction

Start by reading the C# codegen path and its templates for the generated csproj, then check how generation options are passed through. Done means an external library reference can be configured during code generation and appears in the generated project without manual editing.
