Nuproj alternatives for Visual Studio 2019?

Question

We have a legacy C# and C++ solution (web services, web app, OWIN and Nancy) that was built with Visual Studio 2013. We now must use Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise. The solution has a .nuproj file that we were using with the open source nuproj github repo that has been archived and is unsupported in VS 2019. The nuproj authors have not supplied any help (from what I can see) on how to convert or migrate nuproj to a VS 2019 format.

I am wondering if anyone knows the quickest way to get this working?

Alternatives would also be appreciated.

I read:

• Quickstart: Create and publish a NuGet package using Visual Studio (.NET Standard, Windows only), but I was hoping not to install .NET Core on my company laptop yet.
• Automating creating NuGet package as part of build process, but I see that is eight years old.
• Internet searches about csproj self-pack and dotnet pack, but again, I do not want .NET Core right now.

Answer 1

Nothing straightforward. I will retool and use NAnt.
