Check if a <PackageReference/> tag is added to .csproj file

I have a .csproj file as follows:

enter code here

If a <PackageReference/> tag is added to this csproj file, the build should fail. How do I do that? Is there any setting or a test I can add?

For example,

On my phone at the moment, however you can do the following or rather follow this (unable to test for you):

In Pre-Build Events (Right click on your project, go to Properties) of the project, add the following command:

CD $(SolutionDir)
CALL CheckProj.ps1

Then on the root of your solution, create a bat file called "CheckProj.ps1"

The contents of your script should be along the lines of:

$xml = new-object System.Xml.XmlDocument;
$xml.LoadXml( (get-content 'MyProject.csproj') );
$node = $xml.SelectNodes('//Project/ItemGroup/PackageReference');
exit $node.Count;

Then on the rebuild of the project, if exit isn't equal to 0, it'll fail the build as 0 is expected to simulate success in a build event, anything higher will end up being marked as an error and should fail the whole build process.

I'm not entirely sure why you'd want to do this, but you could do this in a test fairly easily.

Using XUnit:

[Fact]
public void NoPackageReferences()
{
    string myCsproj = File.ReadAllText("path/to/my.csproj");
    Assert.DoesNotContain("PackageReference", myCsproj);
}

Now, if you wanted to be more thorough, you could parse the XML... But that's probably overkill for this.
