csproj, but with a much more readable XML file. So finally Microsoft decided to move back to.
NET Core with existing code base even harder.
Plus some people were not happy with project.json, since it made moving to. This was project.json and the xproj file (see here for more.) But in the meantime MSBuild became opensource and cross-plattform.
NET Core was created MSBuild was not cross platform and this XML file was extremely long and messy anyway, so the original decision was to create a new project system. MSBuild is also able to understand this file. These are settings like the included files, the assembly name, etc. It is basically an XML based project file which keeps track of the settings within a. net core application, not only for web projects. See the announcement here.Īlthough I show the settings with an ASP.NET Core application these apply to any. In this post I go through all the settings and show how they look like in this new project system.
That project system was deprecated by Microsoft: they decided to create an MSBuild compatible project system. Everything I write there is valid for the project.json based project system. This post is an update from my original post 'project.json settings in ASP.NET Core'.
