Description
Summary
Project files can contain <Sdk>
elements (modeled by ProjectSdkElement
).
For parity with other project contents, there should be a property to access only those elements (e.g. SdkReferences
).
Background and Motivation
There are already properties for accessing the Sdk
attribute, all properties, all imports and all items.
However, while Sdk
elements appear in Children
, they have no dedicated convenience accessor of their own.
Proposed Feature
/// <summary>
/// Get a read-only collection of the SDK references.
/// </summary>
public ICollection<ProjectSdkElement> Sdks => new ReadOnlyCollection<ProjectSdkElement>(Children.OfType<ProjectSdkElement>());
(name could also be SdkElements
for better distinction from Sdk
; there is also ChooseElements
)
(using Children
and not AllChildren
because I assume these elements are only valid at the top level)
A nice-to-have additional property (SdkReferences
) or method (GetSdkReferences()
) would be one that gathers all SDK references in a project, from all sources:
Sdk
attribute on the projectSdk
elementsImport
elements that specify an SDK
(That would make it easy for something like Dependabot to check whether a particular project references an SDK package for which an update is available.)
