Description

I was trying to update this old legacy MVC sample

​https://github.com/jumpinjackie/mapguide-mvc-sample

Over to use the new 4.0 beta 1 netstandard2.0 nuget packages. However the unmanaged dll files that are also included with these packages are not being copied over.

The project in question uses packages.config for tracking nuget package references.

Even in legacy .net framework projects, this is an ancient way to track nuget package references. Legacy .net projects should use the PackageReference method of tracking nuget packages. In this mode, the .targets files in our nuget packages will import properly and the native dll copying will happen.

We will not devote any further resources to trying to get these nuget packages to work in the "project using packages.config" scenario.
