SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Standardizes and streamlines the setup of large .NET workspaces by providing a modern project structure, including a .slnx-based solution, central build properties, central package management, SourceLink integration, version management with RELEASE_NOTES.md, and SDK pinning with global.json.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralized build and package management: Directory.Build.props, Directory.Packages.props, and global.json to maintain consistency across multiple projects.
  • Modern solution format and source-linking: Use .slnx for human-readable, diff-friendly solutions with SourceLink for debugging and symbol resolution.
  • Version management and release notes: RELEASE_NOTES.md drives versioning and changelog updates, synchronized with Directory.Build.props.
  • CI/CD friendly structure: NuGet.Config and consistent project layout enable reliable builds in automation.

Quick Start

Bootstrap a modern .NET workspace by creating a .slnx-based solution with central build props, central package management, SourceLink, and SDK pinning.

Frequently Asked Questions about dotnet-project-structure

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I centralize .NET package versions across multiple projects?

Central package management in .NET uses Directory.Packages.props to define versions once. This skill automates that setup alongside Directory.Build.props to ensure consistent centralized version control across a multi-project workspace.

What is the .slnx solution format and why use it for .NET workspaces?

The .slnx solution format is a modern, human-readable, and diff-friendly alternative to traditional .sln files. This skill generates a .slnx-based workspace to streamline source control and simplify multi-project solution management.

How do I set up SourceLink and SDK pinning for a .NET solution?

SourceLink integration and SDK pinning are configured using global.json and central build properties. This skill automates applying these configurations to enable reliable debugging, symbol resolution, and consistent builds.

Can I automate .NET version management using RELEASE_NOTES.md?

Yes, version management can be driven by RELEASE_NOTES.md. This skill synchronizes release notes with Directory.Build.props to automate changelog updates and versioning across your centralized build configuration.

Does this approach work for CI/CD automated .NET builds?

Yes, the standardized workspace includes NuGet.Config and consistent project layout specifically designed to enable reliable builds in CI/CD automation environments.

When do I need centralized build properties in a .NET multi-project solution?

You need centralized build properties like Directory.Build.props when managing a large .NET multi-project workspace to maintain consistent configurations, central package management, and SourceLink integration across all projects.
