❔ Make package C private in project A, which inherits project B which uses package C

I have 2 projects, project A and B. project A inherits project B (dependency). however, I want project A to not be able to see project B's NuGet package.

I have tried doing the following in project B's config (PrivateAssets = "All"):

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="SFML.Net" Version="2.5.0" PrivateAssets="All" />
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="SFML.Net" Version="2.5.0" PrivateAssets="All" />
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="SFML.Net" Version="2.5.0" PrivateAssets="All" />
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="SFML.Net" Version="2.5.0" PrivateAssets="All" />
  </ItemGroup>

however, it throws

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 'Could not load file or assembly

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 'Could not load file or assembly

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 'Could not load file or assembly

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 'Could not load file or assembly exception, meaning that the package is not being placed with project A's build. I am (obviously) running from project A.

Update: I replaced

PrivateAssets="All"

PrivateAssets="All"

PrivateAssets="All"

PrivateAssets="All" with

PrivateAssets="compile"

PrivateAssets="compile"

PrivateAssets="compile"

PrivateAssets="compile". Is it a good solution?

There is more to it, there are these in addition to PrivateAssets, look up the documentation

      <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>

      <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>

      <IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>

chatgpt might be able to generate you a few examples, maybe just paste the documentation page to it and ask for examples

Was this issue resolved? If so, run
