*.kproj renamed to *.xproj, and file content changes for targets/props

[Eilon]

The VS project file *.kproj was renamed to *.xproj.

An example of this change can be seen here: https://github.com/aspnet/Options/commit/28168db62760d633a9a8a3d5712a35ea456527a1

The contents of the xproj file have also changed slightly for the Props and targets filenames and folders:

Old:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ...>
  ...
  <Import Project="$(VSToolsPath)\AspNet\Microsoft.Web.AspNet.Props" Condition="'$(VSToolsPath)' != ''" />
  ...
  <Import Project="$(VSToolsPath)\AspNet\Microsoft.Web.AspNet.targets" Condition="'$(VSToolsPath)' != ''" />
</Project>

New:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ...>
  ...
  <Import Project="$(VSToolsPath)\DNX\Microsoft.DNX.Props" Condition="'$(VSToolsPath)' != ''" />
  ...
  <Import Project="$(VSToolsPath)\DNX\Microsoft.DNX.targets" Condition="'$(VSToolsPath)' != ''" />
</Project>

I have got my solution with the beta3-kproj project files and did not change anything compared to what VS created (basically since alpha3). What is your recommendation: git mv the kproj files or delete them and let VS create new ones?

[davidfowl]

Delete and let vs create new ones is the best approach

After you delete the .kproj files in Visual Studio you can use File -> Open Project and select the project.json file. The .xproj file will be created for that project, and dependent projects as well.

You shouldn't have to do anything. When you open the project, VS will convert them to xproj files for you. I would do that as it will update source control correctly (history will show the files as renames).

[Tragetaschen]

Just a word of caution: When VS generates a new *.xproj file for an opened project.json, it's different from the one generated by File->New Project. For example, the root node contains __ToolsVersion__ instead of 14.0.

@BillHiebert sounds like a bug

[BillHiebert]

Yes. We'll need to fix that.
