Use project link in Debug and Nuget in release

Question

I would like to work in my project (A) and the dependent Nuget package (B) at the same time, without having to release the nuget package with every change.

Is it possible to execute the project link of the Nuget project (B) from solution (A) when building Debug. And when creating Release, use the Nuget package from Source?

Answer 1

One way is to manually edit the csproj file. If you are currently referencing a NuGet package, you will have a part in the csproj file as follows:

....
<ItemGroup>
  <Reference Include="log4net, Version=2.0.8.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=669e0ddf0bb1aa2a, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
    <HintPath>..\packages\log4net.2.0.8\lib\net45-full\log4net.dll</HintPath>
    <Private>True</Private>
  </Reference>
  <Reference Include="System" />
  <Reference Include="System.Core" />
  <Reference Include="System.Xml.Linq" />
  <Reference Include="System.Data.DataSetExtensions" />
  <Reference Include="Microsoft.CSharp" />
  <Reference Include="System.Data" />
  <Reference Include="System.Xml" />
</ItemGroup>
....

log4net. NuGet , .. . :

  <ItemGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|AnyCPU' ">
    <Reference Include="log4net">
      <HintPath>Debug\log4net.dll</HintPath>
      <Private>True</Private>
    </Reference>
  </ItemGroup>
  <ItemGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|AnyCPU' ">
    <Reference Include="log4net, Version=2.0.8.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=669e0ddf0bb1aa2a, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
      <HintPath>..\packages\log4net.2.0.8\lib\net45-full\log4net.dll</HintPath>
      <Private>True</Private>
    </Reference>
  </ItemGroup>

Condition ItemGroup .
