Directory.Build.props not working when solution contains Framework and Core projects












0















I want all the projects within a solution to share the same version number. If I add a Directory.Build.props file at the root of the solution, it copies the file to each project as expected. While all the projects will build fine, I get a "publish" error on the Core projects. It says:



Directory.Build.props could not be loaded. '', hexadecimal value 0x1A, is an invalid character. Line 5, position 11



Line 5, position 11 is the end of the file.



I believe this is the end-of-file marker. If, however, I create the same Directory.Build.props file in the root of the Core project, it's fine. The issue is "where" I create the file.



All the other projects (Framework 4.7.1) publish fine with the Directory.Build.props file created in the root of the solution.



I know I could change the folder structure of my solution so Core projects are in one folder, and framework projects are in another. Then create a separate Directory.Build.props file for each "type" of project, but that's a hassle. Is there a workaround for this?

          Why not put the version attribute(s) in one file e.g. Version.cs, and reference that file using the "Add As link" drop down option in the "Add existing item..." window? this way you have the version only in one file
