In visual studio 2017 i have enabled PackageReference
so that package reference will be stored in csproj file instead of package.config file
I have added these 2 line in csproj file to enable PackageRefernce
<RestoreProjectStyle>PackageReference</RestoreProjectStyle><AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>true</AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>
Now when i install any package using Nuget Package Manager, i see something like this
references with blue icon are added as package.
However i dont see any of these packages in packages
folder under solution directory. Moreover, if i right click on blue icon (i.e reference) and click on properties, the window the blank. I cannot see the path where its referencing from
So when does Visual Studio download the packages when package? reference is enabled
