C# Support: Project References

I have a Managed C++ project created by CMake. I also have a C# project (library). When I specify the C# library as a dependency of the Managed C++ project, it gets added as a <Reference> instead of <ProjectReference>.

Proposed solution: CMake should first check if items in VS_DOTNET_REFERENCES are actual C# targets. If it is, it should add a <ProjectReference>. If it's not a C# target, then it should use its current behavior of adding as <Reference>.

Example as it is generated today:

    <Reference Include="ToolCommon">
      <CopyLocalSatelliteAssemblies>true</CopyLocalSatelliteAssemblies>
      <ReferenceOutputAssembly>true</ReferenceOutputAssembly>
    </Reference>

ToolCommon, being a C# project created and controlled by CMake, should have been added like:

    <ProjectReference Include="..\..\ToolCommon\ToolCommon.csproj">
      <Project>{eb41f669-2b22-3721-be81-8398b2bc685a}</Project>
    </ProjectReference>

Version Information:

• CMake: v3.10.2
• Visual Studio 2017
