A VS2017 Extension that helps legacy apps migrate off of packages.config.

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.
