Upgrades Visual Studio 2017 projects to use PackageReferences instead of packages.config, streamlining package resolution and eliminating errors.

See the change log for changes and road map.

Features

  • Upgrades VS2017 projects by moving NuGet package references into the project file itself.

Project Upgrade:

  • Creates a backup of your packages.config and project file for safekeeping.
  • Cycles through your packages.config file for your existing references.
  • Removes the legacy package-relative DLL references.
  • Removes legacy .targets import nodes, as PackageReferences handle them transparently.
  • Removes legacy error conditions.
