I can never remember how to limit what versions of NuGet packages are allowed for a project. So here are how it’s done
Version ranges and wildcards
When referring to package dependencies, NuGet supports using interval notation for specifying version ranges, summarized as follows:
| Notation | Applied rule | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0 | x ≥ 1.0 | Minimum version, inclusive |
| (1.0,) | x > 1.0 | Minimum version, exclusive |
| [1.0] | x == 1.0 | Exact version match |
| (,1.0] | x ≤ 1.0 | Maximum version, inclusive |
| (,1.0) | x < 1.0 | Maximum version, exclusive |
| [1.0,2.0] | 1.0 ≤ x ≤ 2.0 | Exact range, inclusive |
| (1.0,2.0) | 1.0 < x < 2.0 | Exact range, exclusive |
| [1.0,2.0) | 1.0 ≤ x < 2.0 | Mixed inclusive minimum and exclusive maximum version |
| (1.0) | invalid | invalid |
