AlbanianXrm.ImageAsBase64ConstGenerator.MSBuild

This MSBuild package can convert the referenced Image files to Base64 string constants in your application. You need to specify the details of the generated code in a None item and it will be picked up by the custom task. Simple usage example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project>
	<ItemGroup>
		<None Update="Resources\ShkoOnline32x32.png">
			<Namespace>ShkoOnline.DataverseExcelReporter</Namespace>
			<ClassName>Resources</ClassName>
			<ImageAsBase64Const>ShkoOnline32x32</ImageAsBase64Const>
		</None>
	</ItemGroup>
	<ItemGroup>
		<PackageReference Include="AlbanianXrm.ImageAsBase64Const.MSBuild" Version="1.0.0" PrivateAssets="All" />
	</ItemGroup>
</Project>

The previous example will generate a class named Resources in the ShkoOnline.DataverseExcelReporter namespace with a constant string property named ShkoOnline32x32 containing the Base64 representation of the image.
