switcher - support for duplicated project names

[ssteiner]

I don't think you can fix that.. the exception comes from the Microsoft.Build namespace (which are dependencies of dnt) - if at all you'd have to talk to the guys in charge of the MSBuild tools. The alternative would be to write your own sln parser and replace the usage of the MSBuild sln parser. You'd start with using (var projectInformation = ProjectExtensions.LoadProject(solutionProject.AbsolutePath, globalProperties)) in SwitchPackagesToProjectsCommand . But you'd probably spend quite a bit of time ripping everything out.

Though, how do you get your dev environment to even load an .sln that MS considers invalid? I guess I'm not getting how your projects look. Switching the solution SA would work, right?
When you switch SB, your switcher file would say to replace package SA.PA with project PA. If PA is already in the SB.SLN, it shouldn't be re-added - so after the switch SB.SLN should contain PA and PB, no?

I have this problem too, where an app called "DefectEditor" references a Nuget project named "DefectEditor".

switch-to-prjects does not work in this case.
