GitHub Issue (If applicable): closes # According this discussion: https://github.com/unoplatform/uno/discussions/9145 The first PR for this, while fixing the name collision, didn't fix the availability of the constants and led to new research.

Feature

What is the current behavior?

At the moment, constants are added after the .editorconfig file with visible properties is generated, which generators use to access values. Here is the relevant code that shows which Targets are executed and in what order to allow generators to access properties. https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/blob/1c3cdb0b85a8496a8f5108faab046924360b6017/src/Compilers/Core/MSBuildTask/Microsoft.Managed.Core.targets#L155-L196 Based on this, I believe that the optimal place to add constants would be AfterTargets="PrepareForBuild". This also applies to other projects - https://github.com/dotnet/ef6tools/blob/c9988fc28258290118e60dc6d9ccb3fe8c6073d6/setup/wix/EFToolsWillowMsi.wixproj#L77 Generators that rely on these constants will need to use code like this:

<Target Name="CreateDefineConstants" BeforeTargets="GenerateMSBuildEditorConfigFileShouldRun;GenerateMSBuildEditorConfigFileCore">

    <PropertyGroup>
      <Generator_DefineConstants>$(DefineConstants.Replace(';',','))</Generator_DefineConstants>
    </PropertyGroup>

  </Target>

What is the new behavior?

Targets are run at an earlier stage. In addition, the association of properties has been simplified, and duplication of constants in runtime projects due to the reuse of UnoDefineConstants has been fixed. This output is given by this target in the Skia.WPF project:

  <Target Name="Test" BeforeTargets="CoreCompile">
    <Message Importance="high" Text="Test $(DefineConstants)"/>
  </Target>

I confirm that the generator is able to see constants since version 4.5.0-dev.523
