What’s new
There are several new features in this new project support, and if you’ve used it with C# and .NET Core or .NET Standard projects, you’ll likely know about all of them. Here are a few that I like:
- Project files are significantly smaller, often by an order of magnitude.
- Project files are editable without having to unload the project.
- You can edit a project file (e.g., adding a package) and when it’s saved, the project system will automatically react to those changes (such as restoring an added package).
- NuGet dependencies, the SDK reference, and project-to-project references are unified under the Dependencies node.
