Skill instructions
Project Properties Modification Overview Modify .NET project properties in <PropertyGroup elements. Properties may be defined across multiple files in the MSBuild import chain, so always discover where a property is defined before modifying it — changing the wrong file creates confusing overrides or has no effect. Common properties: TargetFramework, LangVersion, Nullable, OutputType, AssemblyName, TreatWarningsAsErrors, ImplicitUsings Import Chain Properties can be defined in multiple locations, evaluated in this order: SDK imports → Directory.Build.props → Project file → Directory.Build.targets → SDK imports | Location | Purpose | |---|---| | Directory.Build.props | Centralized defaults for all projects | | .csproj/.vbproj | Project-specific settings and overrides | | Directory.Build.targets | Post-evaluation defaults | | Explicit <Import | Custom shared configuration | Later definitions override earlier ones, which is why project-file properties override Directory.Build.props values.
