Put your C#, VB and F# projects and packaging on a diet
summary
Shows how to convert old csproj and packages.config to the SDK-style project system using the dotnet CLI, Visual Studio and VS Code, reducing a real project file from ~371 to ~75 lines and eliminating explicit file lists. Demonstrates moving to PackageReference and centralizing versions with Directory.Build.targets, turning on GeneratePackageOnBuild, including portable PDBs, using PrivateAssets and copying project references into tool packages, and enabling SourceLink via SourceLink.* packages. Demos build and debug successfully, with notes on output-path and content-file behavior.
