How to use Microsoft.Build.CentralPackageVersions?

I try to use the Central Package Version from don't.

My .csproj looks like this:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <Sdk Name="Microsoft.Build.CentralPackageVersions" Version="2.0.1" />

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.1</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Newtonsoft.Json" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

My Package.props looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Update="Newtonsoft.Json"          Version="12.0.3" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

But that results in a warning with a false version of Newtonsoft.Json

Can you help me, please?

Solution

  • Your Packages.props should like this:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">

<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Update="Newtonsoft.Json" Version="12.0.3" />
<PackageReference Update="Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration" Version="5.0.0" />
<PackageReference Update="Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json" Version="5.0.0" />
</ItemGroup>

</Project>

    And for you .csproj, it should like this:

    <Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

<Sdk Name="Microsoft.Build.CentralPackageVersions" Version="2.0.1" />

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.1</TargetFramework>
    <RuntimeIdentifiers>linux-x64;win-x64</RuntimeIdentifiers>
    <AssemblyName>HelloWorld</AssemblyName>
    <RootNamespace>HelloWorld</RootNamespace>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Newtonsoft.Json" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration"/>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json" />
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>
