Feature Request: Allow format to select only one framework in case of multi-target projects. #2057

Open moh-hassan opened 6 months ago

moh-hassan commented 6 months ago

Why this feature is needed:. When run 'dotnet format' in multi target project, there may cases where format tool can not merges the changes in multi frameworks eg net6, net472 and had to add unhelpful comments like:

/* Unmerged change from project 'xxxx (net6.0)'
 Before:
         }
 After:
        }
 */

see this open issue and source code is distorted with these such comments which loose the value of formating and we had to run our developed scripts to remove these comments.

Suggestion It is great if we can avoid such problems by passing framework option in commandLine , e.g:

dotnet format --Framework net472

especially, dotnet build allow building one framework and also dotnet format allow filtering in files/diagon.Id, ..
