# .NET 4.0 Amalgamation

Legacy .NET 4.0 consumers should use the amalgamated source model.

## Files

- `AmalgamationTool/DynamORM.Amalgamation.cs`: merged source file.
- `DynamORM.Net40.csproj`: net40 build project that compiles the amalgamation output.

## Regenerate Amalgamation

The amalgamation file must be regenerated after library source changes.

Current workflow in this repository:

1. Build or run `AmalgamationTool` (or use an equivalent merge script).
2. Merge all files from `DynamORM/` into `AmalgamationTool/DynamORM.Amalgamation.cs`.
3. Build `DynamORM.Net40.csproj`.

## Build in Mono Container

```bash
docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/src -w /src mono:latest \
  bash -lc "msbuild /t:Build /p:Configuration=Release DynamORM.Net40.csproj"
```

Expected output artifact:

- `bin/Release/net40/DynamORM.Net40.dll`

## Build with .NET SDK Container

```bash
docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/src -w /src mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:10.0-preview \
  dotnet build DynamORM.Net40.csproj -c Release
```

## Important Constraint

Do not force net40 into the main multi-target `DynamORM/DynamORM.csproj` for modern workflows.

Keep net40 compatibility validated through the dedicated amalgamation project so legacy consumers can embed the single-file source without destabilizing primary targets.
