Update .NET .csproj PackageReference from float versioning to strict one (like 1. -> 1.0.4)

Question

I've got a kind of 'rolling update' policy for nugets:

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="AutoMapper" Version="12.*" />
...
</ItemGroup>

In addition, I have packages.lock.json with specific versions. Now the release time comes. I will cut the release branch and I need to 'freeze' nuget versions for a month in a release branch. Question: can I do some magic trick and set specific strict version of the nuget package for release branch, something like:

<PackageReference Include="AutoMapper" Version="12.*" /> + packages.lock.json + some command -> <PackageReference Include="AutoMapper" Version="12.0.4" />

Note: <PackageReference Include="AutoMapper" Version="12.0.4" /> is not a strict version rule; that would be Version="[12.0.4]" — Marc Gravell

Do you mean you want use some command to update PackageReference from float version to strict one instead of manually modifying ? — Dou Xu-MSFT

Hi @SergeyShafiev, did you try Package Manager Console commands to achieve it? — Dou Xu-MSFT

If you want update .csproj PackageReference from float version to strict one via some command, you can use Package Manager Console commands to achieve it.

Update-Package  AutoMapper -Version 13.0.1

After running above command, it will automatically update the following files:

project file

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="AutoMapper" Version="12.0.4" />
</ItemGroup>

packages.lock.json file

 "AutoMapper": {
        "type": "Direct",
        "requested": "[12.0.4, )",
        "resolved": "12.0.4"
  }
