### Command to Perform a Release Build
Output goes to bin\ReleaseObfusc
`msbuild BismNormalizer.csproj /verbosity:m /target:Rebuild /property:Configuration=Release`
### Set Up New Development Machine
VS 2019 Workloads installed must include .NET desktop development and VS extension development.
Requires VS Installer Projects [extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=VisualStudioClient.MicrosoftVisualStudio2017InstallerProjects).
May need to temporarily comment out following at bottom of BismNormalizer.csproj to load project into VS for 1st time. After 1st successful load, add it back.
`Import Project="..\packages\MSBuild.Extension.Pack.1.8.0\build\net40\MSBuild.Extension.Pack.targets"`
Update: 4/23/2018: AMO libraries are now accessed through NuGet references, so no longer necessary to install AMO client libraries from the [MSI](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/analysis-services/analysis-services-data-providers).
Do a Release build from the command-line to set up cross project references for the 1st time (see command above) - and then close and reopen VS.
Set AlmToolkit or BismNormalizer as startup project
In BismNormalizer project properities > Debug tab, set
* Start External Program (assuming Enterprise edition): C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe

The automated tests refer to a localhost SSAS tabular server.
