More

Execute with additional dependencies

dotnet-exec 'typeof(LocalType).FullName.Dump();' --ad FileLocalType2.cs

dotnet-exec 'typeof(LocalType).FullName.Dump();' --addition FileLocalType2.cs

Execute with exacting references and usings from the project file

Get the profile details:

dotnet-exec profile get web

Remove the profile not needed:

dotnet-exec profile rm web

Executing with specific profile config:

dotnet-exec 'WebApplication.Create().Chain(_=>_.MapRuntimeInfo()).Run();' --profile web --using 'WeihanLi.Extensions'
