I'm beginning to think a better solution may be to simply remove .dll from the end of the title if it exists. It won't require adding new preprocessors and will only affect those who intentionally end their title with .dll, for whatever reason, instead of all of NETSTANDARD.

@tynar I don't see a preprocessor for .NET Framework that calls Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension, it would hit your #else and simply not trim. Since that trim call was added back in 2013, before Core even existed, .NET Framework users should get the behavior that trims .dll off the end as well as netstandard1_5.

Could you rewrite your change to remove just the string .dll from the end of the title, if it exists? If it passes the tests after that, we should be good to go.

Wasn't the intention to show the title from AssemblyInfo rather than looking for executed file name? That's why I left else part with title info which is available in .NET Framework.

Yes. Note that the existing code calls GetFileNameWithoutExtension on the title attribute, NOT the assembly name. I believe it's meant to solve a problem where, by default, the title attribute is given a name of something.dll if you did not manually set it yourself.

I think if you take the current published code and then replace

GetFileNameWithoutExtension(titleAttribute.Title)

with the following pseudocode (sorry I don't have the time to format it properly)

title = titleAttribute.Title
if title endswith ".dll"
    title = title.Substring(0, title.Length - ".dll".Length)

It should solve the original issue while keeping the spirit of the old behavior.

That looks good to me @tynar, thank you for your contribution to the project!
