NuGet参考，VS2015和VS2013兼容性

Question

We're just dipping our toes into the VS 2015 water. Our references to internal NuGet packages seemed to be a pickle so I forced a reinstall on one particular package.

It reinstalled it, and all its dependencies, for the whole solution. Afterwards, the .csproj files are missing their traditional references.

For example, this block/element existed in the project file before I updated:

<Reference Include="Newtonsoft.Json, Version=7.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
  <HintPath>..\..\packages\Newtonsoft.Json.7.0.1\lib\net45\Newtonsoft.Json.dll</HintPath>
  <Private>True</Private>
</Reference>

My guess is that this is new behaviour, that now all references are NuGet packages. I actually thought this was only for new ASP.NET projects, these are old ASP.NET projects, so I didn't expect this new behaviour (if that's what it is).

Is this new behaviour? Will all the team now have to move to VS 2015 because the refs will be missing if I commit these changes and they open it in 2013?

Thanks

Answer 1

To answer the question here: no, this is not how it should work; reference elements are not removed from the XML in the .csproj file.
