NuGet package dependency

System.Xml.Linq is a NuGet package dependency declared by Pams/Core/Pams.Core/Pams.Core.csproj. It lets Pams.Core C# code read, query, create, and write XML through LINQ to XML types such as XDocument and XElement. NuGet restores the dependency during the Pams.Core build so XML-related code can reference these types.

Usage

ts
import { execFileSync } from "node:child_process";
import { resolve } from "node:path";

const projectFile = resolve(
  "Pams/Core/Pams.Core/Pams.Core.csproj",
);

// Restore System.Xml.Linq and other project dependencies.
execFileSync("dotnet", ["restore", projectFile], {
  stdio: "inherit",
});

// Build the C# project that references System.Xml.Linq.
execFileSync("dotnet", ["build", projectFile], {
  stdio: "inherit",
});

AI Coding Instructions

• Keep the System.Xml.Linq package reference in Pams/Core/Pams.Core/Pams.Core.csproj when code depends on XDocument, XElement, or related XML types.
• Write XML handling in C#; TypeScript code should invoke the built .NET project rather than import this NuGet package.
• Run dotnet restore before building when package assets are not present locally.
• Prefer LINQ to XML types for XML parsing and updates instead of string-based XML edits.
