NuGet References Validator
Summary
A Visual Studio extension to assist in spotting conflicting NuGet package references in solutions with multiple projects. Once a solution has been loaded, NuGet package references are analyzed and compared. Any conflict results in an error tool window entry.
Usage

- Load a solution with multiple projects that are referencing NuGet packages.
- Check the error tool window.
- If a conflict has been detected, double click the entry and consolidate the relevant packages.
- Currently related projects or simply the solution have to be reloaded to trigger a new validation run (see roadmap).
Requirements
- Visual Studio 2015
- Visual Studio 2017
Roadmap
- Automatic validation run when NuGet packages have changed.
