VSCode extension can't find nuget packages

I restored a missing nuget package using msbuild and now I can use msbuild to compile my project without errors. However, the language server can't seem to find it so I get The type or namespace name 'whatever' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) as a Problem everywhere any part of that package is used. How can I tell the language server where nuget put the dll? (and how can I find that, in the first place?)

Can msbuild resolve parent directories from pwd instead of through ..?

I'm running msbuild while my working directory includes a symlink. When it tries to access ../../.. it is following the actual .. directory entry at each level which does up to the real parent of the symlinked directory, not to the parent of the symlink. Is there a way to get it to not do that?

Interpolating a csproj xml property in the text of another property?

  <PropertyGroup Condition="$([MSBuild]::IsOSPlatform('Windows'))">
    <DataFolder>Win64_Data</DataFolder>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <Reference Include="Assembly-CSharp">
      <HintPath>..\..\..\$(DataFolder)\Managed\Assembly-CSharp.dll</HintPath>
      <Private>False</Private>
    </Reference>

  <PropertyGroup Condition="$([MSBuild]::IsOSPlatform('Windows'))">
    <DataFolder>Win64_Data</DataFolder>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <Reference Include="Assembly-CSharp">
      <HintPath>..\..\..\$(DataFolder)\Managed\Assembly-CSharp.dll</HintPath>
      <Private>False</Private>
    </Reference>

Is something like this possible? I'm hoping I've just missed some available syntax for doing this sort of interpolation.

Why is mscorlib 2.0 an ExplicitReference in the Initial Items when running msbuild? [Answered]

I'm trying to build a project that has some dependencies on mscorlib version 4.0, but something about my build process is pulling in an implicit dependency on version 2.0 so I get a lot of warnings. warning MSB3277: Found conflicts between different versions of "mscorlib" that could not be resolved A possibly useful warning hint is this, which is confusing because I can't tell what's causing the primary setting/selection:

"mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" was chosen because it was primary and "mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" was not.

This is where I'm running msbuild, but the repo is very out of date and I'm working on bringing it up to date: https://github.com/sparr/rimworld-mod-DraggableCorners/tree/master/Source/DraggableCorners question: How can I determine what is causing v2.0 to get included? I've run msbuild -v:diag and find this in the Initial Items:

_ExplicitReference
    /usr/lib/mono/2.0-api/mscorlib.dll

_ExplicitReference
    /usr/lib/mono/2.0-api/mscorlib.dll

meta-question: is there a better place to ask what is probably a linux-specific tooling/build question?
