Add SolutionDir

The csproj file created by Visual Studio 2013, SolutionDir is defined in csproj as below.

XML

  <PropertyGroup>    <SolutionDir Condition="$(SolutionDir) == '' Or $(SolutionDir) == '*Undefined*'">..\</SolutionDir>  </PropertyGroup>

  <PropertyGroup>     <SolutionDir Condition="$(SolutionDir) == '' Or $(SolutionDir) == '*Undefined*'">..\</SolutionDir>   </PropertyGroup>

But Visual Studio 2015 doesn't define SolutionDir in csproj. "Add SolutionDir" command inserts the abobe SolutionDir definition into cproj file in selected project.

Convert HintPath

When a project refers the nuget library or other projects, HintPath is added to csproj file as below.

The value is a file path with relative path. "Convert HintPath" command converts this relative path to the path with SolutionDir.

Add Config Transform without Build Configuration but with BuildTarget option

Console project has no way to config transform like ASP.NET Web project. After executing "Add Config Transform" command, below lines are inserted into csproj.

Now you can add "App.<BuildTarget>.config" file and write config transform in this file. Then you can transform app.config with MSBuild with "BuildTarget=<BuildTarget>" option.

Please give me feedback or bug report through GitHub repository.
