✅ Disable trimming for certain assemblies

Hello. There's a way to disable code trimming for certain assemblies? I just want to AOT-Compile my application, but trim only CLR assemblies and not the principal assembly. My code does use a lot of dynamic code, so it would be trimmed on an AOT-compilation. Thank you.

Well I think i got it working with

<ItemGroup>
    <TrimmerRootAssembly Include="MyAssembly" />
</ItemGroup>

<ItemGroup>
    <TrimmerRootAssembly Include="MyAssembly" />
</ItemGroup>

you can use <TrimMode>partial</TrimMode> to disable trimming for all assemblies which are not marked as trimmable it might be easier than going through and testing and rooting each further assembly which does not work
