how do i generate WCF connected services on build/restore?

I spent many hours reading through MSDN trying to wrap my head around MSBuild, but the best I was able to put together is this:

<Target Name="CodeGenPre">
    <!-- no idea why this is necessary -->
    <Exec Command="dotnet tool restore"
          ConsoleToMsBuild="true"/>
</Target>



<Target Name="CodeGen1"
        Condition="!Exists('Connected Services/MyService1/Reference.cs')"
        DependsOnTargets="CodeGenPre"
        BeforeTargets="BeforeBuild"
>
    <Exec Command="dotnet dotnet-svcutil --noLogo --update &quot;Connected Services\MyService1\ConnectedService.json&quot;"
          ConsoleToMsBuild="true"/>
    <ItemGroup>
        <Compile Include="Connected Services/MyService1/Reference.cs"/>
    </ItemGroup>
</Target>



<Target Name="CodeGen2"
        Condition="!Exists('Connected Services/MyService2/Reference.cs')"
        DependsOnTargets="CodeGenPre"
        BeforeTargets="BeforeBuild"
>
    <Exec Command="dotnet dotnet-svcutil --noLogo --update &quot;Connected Services\MyService2\ConnectedService.json&quot;"
          ConsoleToMsBuild="true"/>
    <ItemGroup>
        <Compile Include="Connected Services/MyService2/Reference.cs"/>
    </ItemGroup>
</Target>



<Target Name="CodeGen3"
        Condition="!Exists('Connected Services/MyService3/Reference.cs')"
        DependsOnTargets="CodeGenPre"
        BeforeTargets="BeforeBuild"
>
    <Exec Command="dotnet dotnet-svcutil --noLogo --update &quot;Connected Services\MyService3\ConnectedService.json&quot;"
          ConsoleToMsBuild="true"/>
    <ItemGroup>
        <Compile Include="Connected Services/MyService3/Reference.cs"/>
    </ItemGroup>
</Target>

<Target Name="CodeGenPre">
    <!-- no idea why this is necessary -->
    <Exec Command="dotnet tool restore"
          ConsoleToMsBuild="true"/>
</Target>

    </ItemGroup>
</Target>

    <ItemGroup>
        <Compile Include="Connected Services/MyService2/Reference.cs"/>
    </ItemGroup>
</Target>

    </ItemGroup>
</Target>

very copypasty, very slow (compared to doing it manually using the UI), CodeGen1-3 run sequentially (even more slow), and it doesn't use the provider configured in the ConnectedService.json file. There gotta be a better way to do this. how?

✅ When should/shouldn't I split off code into a separate lib project?

ok forget my predictions, i really just meant to ask: does project splitting change what is and isn't recompiled? (idk how much compilers can reuse from previous builds)

I have noticed that only projects with changes get re-compiled, does the compiler do something similar on a per-namespace (per perhaps even per-file) basis?

glad to have that reaffirmed. but out of curiosity, can you elaborate on why/how? like, why do you say you can't do that when at the same time it will technically work ?

✅ how can i let an interface implement a function of a super-interface, instead of shadowing it?

well its an isolated example. my use case isn't that simple of course
