Metadata file integration
Multi-target framework support
Automatic project references
Package configuration
Code quality defaults

ktsu.Sdk.ConsoleApp

Extension SDK for console applications. Adds:

OutputType=Exe configuration
Single target framework (net10.0)
Cross-platform console optimizations

ktsu.Sdk.App

Extension SDK for GUI applications (ImGui, WinForms, WPF, etc.). Adds:

OutputType=WinExe on Windows (no console window)
OutputType=Exe on other platforms
Single target framework (net10.0)
Platform-specific runtime configurations

Detailed Usage

Setup Requirements

Central Package Management: Create a Directory.Packages.props file at your solution root:

<Project>
  <PropertyGroup>
    <ManagePackageVersionsCentrally>true</ManagePackageVersionsCentrally>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

Metadata Files: Create these optional markdown files at your solution root (they will be automatically included in NuGet packages):
- AUTHORS.md - Used for namespace generation and package authors
- VERSION.md - Version number (can be managed by build scripts)
- DESCRIPTION.md - Package description
- CHANGELOG.md - Release notes
- LICENSE.md - License information
- COPYRIGHT.md - Copyright notice
- TAGS.md - NuGet package tags
- README.md - Package documentation
- AUTHORS.url - URL to author/organization
- PROJECT.url - URL to project repository
icon.png: Optional package icon at solution root

Overriding Defaults

The SDK provides sensible defaults, but you can override any property:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <Sdk Name="ktsu.Sdk" />

  <PropertyGroup>
    <!-- Override target frameworks -->
    <TargetFrameworks>net10.0;net9.0</TargetFrameworks>

    <!-- Override namespace -->
    <RootNamespace>MyCompany.MyProject</RootNamespace>

    <!-- Disable nullable if needed -->
    <Nullable>disable</Nullable>

    <!-- Allow warnings in test projects -->
    <TreatWarningsAsErrors Condition="$(IsTestProject) == 'true'">false</TreatWarningsAsErrors>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

Project Type Detection

The SDK automatically detects different project types in your solution:

Primary Project: The main project of your solution (YourSolution, YourSolution.Core)
Console Projects: Command-line interface projects (YourSolution.CLI, YourSolution.Cli, YourSolutionCli, YourSolutionCLI, YourSolution.ConsoleApp, YourSolution.Console)
GUI App Projects: Application projects (YourSolution.App, YourSolutionApp, YourSolution.WinApp, YourSolutionWinApp, YourSolution.ImGuiApp, YourSolutionImGuiApp)
Test Projects: Test projects (YourSolution.Test, YourSolution.Tests, YourSolutionTest, YourSolutionTests)

Each project type receives appropriate default settings, references, and output configurations (console apps vs. GUI apps).

Intelligent Namespace Generation

The SDK creates intelligent namespaces based on your project's directory structure:

Examples:

MySolution/src/Core/Utils/MyProject.csproj
→ ProjectNamespace: src.Core.Utils.MyProject

MySolution/libs/MyLib/MyLib.csproj  
→ ProjectNamespace: libs.MyLib (already ends with project name)

MySolution/MyApp/MyApp.csproj
→ ProjectNamespace: MyApp (directory equals project name)

Final Namespace Pattern: {AuthorsNamespace}.{ProjectNamespace} where AuthorsNamespace comes from AUTHORS.md

Hierarchical Solution Discovery

The SDK automatically searches for solution files up the directory hierarchy:

MyProject/                     ← Level 3: Check here  
├── MyProject.sln             ← Found! Use this directory
└── apps/                     ← Level 2: Check here
    └── frontend/             ← Level 1: Check here  
        └── src/              ← Level 0: Start here (project directory)
            └── MyApp.csproj

This enables the SDK to work with any nested project structure without configuration.

Advanced Configuration Features

Analyzer-Enforced Requirements

The SDK automatically includes the ktsu.Sdk.Analyzers package (with version synchronization) that enforces proper project configuration with helpful diagnostics and code fixers:

KTSU0001 (Error): Projects must include required standard packages

Enforces SourceLink packages (GitHub, Azure Repos)
Enforces Polyfill package for non-test projects
Enforces compatibility packages (System.Memory, System.Threading.Tasks.Extensions) based on target framework
Diagnostic message includes package name and version number

KTSU0002 (Error): Projects must expose internals to test projects

Code fixer automatically adds [assembly: InternalsVisibleTo(...)] attribute
Use Ctrl+. (Quick Actions) to apply the fix

Polyfill Configuration: For non-test projects, the SDK automatically enables:

PolyEnsure=true - Enables ensure/guard clause polyfills
PolyNullability=true - Enables nullability-related polyfills

These analyzers ensure consistent project structure while giving you explicit control over dependencies.

Available Properties

The SDK makes these properties available for conditional logic in your project files:

Project Type Detection:

IsPrimaryProject - True if this is the main library project
IsCliProject - True if this is a console application
IsAppProject - True if this is a GUI application
IsTestProject - True if this is a test project

Project Type Existence:

PrimaryProjectExists - True if primary project was found
CliProjectExists - True if CLI project was found
AppProjectExists - True if app project was found
TestProjectExists - True if test project was found

Project Paths:

SolutionDir - Path to solution directory
SolutionPath - Full path to .sln file
SolutionName - Solution name without extension
PrimaryProjectPath - Path to primary project
TestProjectPath - Path to test project

Namespace Properties:

AuthorsNamespace - Namespace prefix from AUTHORS.md
ProjectNamespace - Namespace from directory path
RootNamespace - Final combined namespace
TestProjectNamespace - Namespace for test project

Package Properties:

IsPackable - True for library projects
IsPublishable - True for executable projects
IsExecutable - True if OutputType is Exe or WinExe
IsLibrary - True if OutputType is Library and not a test project

Use these in your project files:

<PropertyGroup>
  <!-- Example: Only pack if not a prerelease -->
  <IsPackable Condition="$(IsPrerelease) == 'true'">false</IsPackable>

  <!-- Example: Different settings for test projects -->
  <SomeProperty Condition="$(IsTestProject) == 'true'">TestValue</SomeProperty>
</PropertyGroup>

Robust Error Handling

The SDK includes comprehensive error handling to prevent common MSBuild failures:

Safe Array Access: Prevents "index out of bounds" errors when accessing file lists or string arrays
Null Property Checks: All string operations include null/empty validation
File Existence Validation: All file operations verify existence before processing
Graceful Degradation: Missing metadata files don't cause build failures

Standardized Package Creation

Library projects are automatically configured for NuGet packaging with:

Automatic Metadata Population: Uses markdown files for package description, changelog, etc.
Source Link Integration: Enables source code debugging for published packages
Package Validation: Built-in API compatibility and package structure validation
Multi-Framework Support: Targets multiple .NET versions simultaneously

Cross-Platform Compatibility

Projects are configured with multiple runtime identifiers:

Windows: win-x64, win-x86, win-arm64
macOS: osx-x64, osx-arm64
Linux: linux-x64, linux-arm64

Advanced Testing Support

Automatic InternalsVisibleTo: Test projects automatically access internal members
Test Project Detection: Identifies and configures test projects with appropriate settings
Relaxed Warnings: Test projects suppress documentation and code style warnings

Automatic Package References

The SDK enforces (via analyzers) that projects include these NuGet packages:

Source Link Support (All Projects)

Microsoft.SourceLink.GitHub - GitHub source linking for debugging
Microsoft.SourceLink.AzureRepos.Git - Azure Repos source linking

Polyfills (Non-Test Projects)

Polyfill - Modern language feature support for older frameworks, with automatic configuration for PolyEnsure and PolyNullability source generators

Compatibility Packages (Framework-Specific)

System.Memory - For .NET Standard and .NET Framework
System.Threading.Tasks.Extensions - For netstandard2.0, netcoreapp2.0, and .NET Framework

Analyzer Package (Non-Test Projects)

ktsu.Sdk.Analyzers - Automatically included with version synchronization to enforce SDK requirements

Code Quality Defaults

The SDK enforces strict code quality standards by default:

Compiler Settings

LangVersion: latest - Use latest C# language features
Nullable: enable - Nullable reference types enabled
TreatWarningsAsErrors: true - All warnings treated as errors
ImplicitUsings: enable - Implicit global usings enabled

Code Analysis

AnalysisLevel: latest-all - All latest analyzer rules enabled

IDE0022: Use expression body for methods
IDE0058: Expression value is never used
CA1305: Specify IFormatProvider
CA5394: Do not use insecure randomness
CA1707: Identifiers should not contain underscores

Runtime Configuration

InvariantGlobalization: true - Invariant culture for better performance
NeutralLanguage: en-US

Troubleshooting

Package Restore Fails

Problem: NuGet restore fails with "ManagePackageVersionsCentrally is not enabled"

Solution: Ensure Directory.Packages.props exists at your solution root with ManagePackageVersionsCentrally enabled.

Namespace Generation Issues

Problem: Generated namespace doesn't match expectations

Solution:

Check that AUTHORS.md exists and contains valid content
The namespace format is: {FirstPartOfAuthors}.{PathToProject}.{ProjectName}
You can always override with <RootNamespace> in your project file

Build Warnings as Errors

Problem: Build fails due to warnings being treated as errors

Solution: Either fix the warnings or selectively disable warnings:

<PropertyGroup>
  <NoWarn>$(NoWarn);CA1234;IDE5678</NoWarn>
</PropertyGroup>

Multi-Target Framework Issues

Problem: Project builds for too many frameworks

Solution: Override TargetFrameworks for specific projects:

<PropertyGroup>
  <!-- Single target for applications -->
  <TargetFramework>net10.0</TargetFramework>
  <TargetFrameworks></TargetFrameworks>
</PropertyGroup>

Solution Not Found

Problem: SDK reports it cannot find a solution file

Solution: The SDK searches up to 5 directory levels. Ensure your project is within 5 levels of your .sln file, or manually set <SolutionDir> in your project.
