NuGet PackageReference Upgrader

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.
