As I don't use VS I don't know about this myself.

The .NET Core SDK comes with a "dotnet" CLI tool which I use via <exec>
from inside the NAnt build.

https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/dotnet/articles/core/tools/dotnet

Right now it's using JSON for the project definition but IIUC future
versions of the .NET Core SDK will be heading "back" to msbuild and
.csproj files again.
