[cppwinrt] Provide MSBuild integration at parity with NuGet package #31421

Open davidmatson opened 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, cppwinrt via vcpkg isn't as full-featured on MSBuild as cppwinrt via NuGet; installing this package isn't enough to get it to run the tool on WinMD files, for example.

Proposed solution

Include the MSBuild props/targets from upstream for MSBuild consumers, so they run in the same way for projects with MSBuild integration enabled.

(Assuming vcpkg has a way to include MSBuild targets in projects that integrate with vcpkg via MSBuild.)

Are you saying that cppwinrt installed via vcpkg cannot handle WinMD files?

davidmatson commented 1 year ago

No, I'm saying that, for MSBuild projects (.vcxproj), if you use cppwinrt via the NuGet package and reference a WinMD file, it just works and automatically produces the correct cppwinrt headers from that WinMD file. If you use cppwinrt via vcpkg, that doesn't happen.
