How do you create a NuGet package from a .NET Core MSBuild project in Visual Studio 2017 RC? -

now have official migration project.json .csproj, how generate nuget package output?

i don't know if it's me find hard understand official documentation pages. mention calling msbuild command line, it's not working me, , besides more hoping specify step directly in .csproj file itself.

a complete example of how using .csproj files appreciated.

update: got msbuild output package running command line. trick fill in propertygroup package metadata described in doc pages. however, still prefer run pack part of normal build process.

update: found better resource understanding new .csproj format in .net blog page.

i'm packing .net core nuget package msbuild in visual studio 2017 rc using following steps:

1. install visual studio 2017 .net core , docker (preview) component.
2. create following package information through new -> project -> c# -> .net core -> console app (.net core).
3. right-click .net core project choose edit projectname.csproj option open .csproj file in visual studio 2017.

4. save file under propertygroup node following package information:

   <propertygroup>     <outputtype>exe</outputtype>     <targetframework>netcoreapp1.0</targetframework>     <packageid>testnetcorepackage</packageid>     <packageversion>1.0.0</packageversion>     <authors>weiwei</authors>     <description>test .net core package</description>            <packagerequirelicenseacceptance>false</packagerequirelicenseacceptance>     <packagereleasenotes>first release</packagereleasenotes>     <copyright>copyright 2016 (c) contoso corporation. rights reserved.</copyright>     <packagetags>net core</packagetags> </propertygroup> 

5. open developer command prompt vs 2017 rc , type cd *your project file path* command navigate project file path.

6. type msbuild projectname.csproj /t:pack, command pack .net core package. generate in bin\debug folder in project path.
