Code generation is a powerful tool that can save time and ease the development process. With C# 9 there is finally an officially supported mechanism for generating source code into your .NET projects as part of the compiler pipeline. Write code that writes code!
You can use C# source code generators by adding the generator NuGet package to your code, or even better, build and share your package.
We will see how source-code generators work, the pros and cons, and how we can leverage them as consumers or producers.
To understand the possibilities, I will present an open-source project that utilizes source code generation: The Azure IoT Source generator lets you develop a full-featured IoT hub client in seconds!
