Changes

  • The extension now uses a language service based on Microsoft's Language Server Protocol.
  • Tooltips for MSBuild objects in the project file.
  • Support for any configured (remote) package source.
    We're using the new NuGet client libraries so it should understand global, solution-local, and project-local package sources.
  • Highly-improved handling of project files with broken or invalid XML (thanks to Microsoft.Language.Xml).
  • Implemented configuration property (msbuildProjectFileTools.languageService.enable) to switch between MSBuild language engine and classic completion provider.
  • Implemented go-to-definition for project-style and SDK-style imports.
  • Detect .NET Core version on startup, and fall back to classic completion provider if >= 2.0.0 is not available.
  • More informative tooltips on hover
  • Handle multiple items originating from a single item group element in the XML.
  • Improved error handling
  • Partial fix for incorrect handling of non-windows line endings (see #4.

Notes

If you want to use the new MSBuild language service, you must have .NET Core 2.0 present on the system path (but your project can target whatever platform / version it wants to). If you don't have it, then the extension will fall back to using the classic PackageReference completion provider (MSBuild-related functionality will not be available).

Installing

To use this extension, either install it from the VS marketplace, or download the VSIX package and install it by choosing "Install from VSIX" from the menu on the top right of the extensions panel in VS Code.
